You put in the OEM size, then see what sizes will work and stay within ragnge, which will be displayed in green.
Keep in mind that the "specific tire" makes a huge difference too. Also, if you're using run flats, then just changing to a non run flat might make the difference for you. Or going from an ultra high performance tire to a touring tire might also be enough. It all depends on where you're starting from.

The least costly is to use the existing wheels. To do that just put on the AMG spec tires. They are non run-flats which will make an immediate difference plus they are wider which does help a bit with the ride. Size is 255/40-20F and 285/35-20 rear.The best choice for summer tires are Michelin PS4s or the new PS5's if you can find them I have not used all season tires since I live by the beach in SoCal, so someone else will have a recommendation. I get my tires at the local dealer because it is very convenient, they usually have them in stock and I never have to be concerned about wheel damage which had become common at the local tire stores.

Editorial point: I think it's absolutely ridiculous to run a luxury sedan with such low profile tires! It "almost" defeats the whole purpose of a luxury sedan. I hated that combo on my 2017 S550 sedan. In addition to compromising comfort, the worst part is how easy it is to bend wheels. It's a constant disaster if you don;t have forged wheels. Thos "AMG" OEM wheels are cast aluminum and constantly bend and break. In my opinioon, they are no better than off the shelf cast aluminum wheels that can bought for 1/3 the price of MB branded wheels. In less than 2 years, I bent all four, and at least 2 more than once. Rant over...

{{This is why I went with 19" wheels instead of 18" wheels}}
