Gls450: staggered setup ?

Hello, I'm planning to replace stick 275/50/20 all around with 21" staggered fitment, wider wheels in the rear ... what sizes will fit without giving 4matic issues (diameter has to be same)

Thanks

I would look to see what the GLE43 or GLE63 with AMg packages are running for tire size on 21s... That's your safest bet

This staggered fitment shows front diameter 30.7" amd rear 30.6" ... close enough but revs on a mile vary by 3 ... I know bmw uses staggered setup that's an exact match (275-40/20 & 315-35/20) ... dont wanna have any 4matic issues...
