Question ML 430 tires...is it possible to get wider ones?

Guys,

Have ML430 stock wheels and would like to know, if possible if I can get wider tires on? Same rims.

I've seen an ML around town and really thought he had wider tires.

If so which would you suggest?

A bit wider...

I am running Eagle F-1's 295/45/ZR18's. Not much wider, but some. Thats about as wide as I think I can go unless I change rims I hear. Some of the other guys with bigger rims may be able to help. Yours are stock 18's?
