Need HELP HELP !!!! with tire sizes for Brabus Wheels

Ok, so I drive S500 and I am about to order tires for my 19' Brabus Monoblock VI wheels...
My question is, can I go with F 245/45/19 R 275/40/19
or F 245/40/19 R 275/35/19 ???
I care about comfort and would like to go with 40 in the rear, but I'm not sure if it will rub....?

HELP HELP HELP

id do exactly this tire setup, make sure u take pics once all is installed!!

also too, MAYBE one day u find yourself itchy and bitten by the mod bug..

www.adjustableairride.com or lowering module,

i told myself i would keep the car stock.. then tint only, then wheels im done, then lowered car, raised car then back to lowered and then i drew the line (with a pencil - line could be erased)

but since I'm planning to use the S500 as a limo here in Phoenix
I might do few things but I don't think I'll lower it
Not sure if customers would appreciate lowered "the look" hehe :-)

Now I took a closer look at my front wheel....
and I got doubts about 245/40/19 in front....
as you can see in the picture, the gap between the tire and the screw is about 0.7inch... Is the 40 size going to fit..?
