22" on GLE SUV...Should I be Worried?

Have a 2018 GLE43 SUV and was giving this set-up a chance, but wanted to know what issues it may cause.

I'm running:
Fronts are 22x10 with 56.5 offset, 285/40ZR22
Rears are 22x11 with 40 offset, 325/35ZR22

These are stock wheels off the coupe (C292). I like the look (other than the poke in the rear - but was considering getting the fender flare attachments to address that issue). However, before making the financial commitment, wanted to know if this set-up is safe or will it cause any issues or damage to the vehicle?

Thanks

Did you ever run this and do the fender flares? I'd love to see what yours looks like! I like this setup too. Don't know how it will look on a non-AMG GLE like mine though

Other than breaking a rim at the first hint of a pot hole, if they're not rubbing then run -em 'til they break. Tire outside diameter the same as OEM? If not, your speedo will be off.
