No one else knows - Will 18" (or 19") mono blocks fit a 2013 S65

Going to need new tires soon and I would like to get a bit more sidewall. I love the car, but feel the ride is a bit too firm at times - ABC does a great job soaking up large jarring potholes and bumps, but the smaller bumps are a bit too noticeable, IMO.

I've always loved mono blocks - they are such a timeless design, Benz has started fitting them to higher end vehicles again: https://jalopnik.com/the-mercedes-am...els-1827923767

I cannot find any (seemingly) legitimate site that will verify that they'll fit the vehicle. Does anyone know for sure?

Thank you. 19" mono blocks are incredibly hard to find, but I will keep my eye out.

Still looking. Found some 19s on ebay for ~$4,000, but they're a square setup and I'd prefer 8.5/9.5.

FWIW, Benz now makes 23 inch Monoblocks for the Maybach models.
