S550 wheels painted on my S55 & vredesteins
I got a set of 07 S550 wheels and had them painted grey metallic w/clearcoat and they fit perfectly on my S55. I ordered a set of vredestein tires they are pretty grippy up there with ps2's.

Yup you have to go to a lower tire stick with the same diameter as the original ones your car came with. The width should not be an issue I run 275s in the back but as soon as I burn through them I am getting 285s. You can google tire diameter calculator and then use one to select tires. I believe the stock S class diameter is around 26.5 inches.
