275 40 18 in the fronts
I know the stock set up for a W220 is
FRONT 18X 8.5 with 245 45 18
REAR 18X9.5 275 40 18.


What if I run 18x 9.5 and 275 40 18 all around?

Any thoughts PLZZZ...
Thanks!!

yea the biggest you can go its 255 cuz i have 255/30/r20 and it rubs a little against the wheel well plastic thing. so 275 you wouldnt be able to all the way and you would have to figure out the offset. IMO if you are looking for more traction just go with 255, there is plenty of it trust me

I run 245/45 18" fronts with plenty of room. 255's should be ok.
