tire setup questions

Hi guys I have a 04 s55 designo edition with stock 18in tires ...

Original setup was

245 45 18 front
265 40 18 rear

I got right now

245 45 18
275 40 18

Winter is here and I think the rear rim is wider 8.5 vs 9.5

I want to do 255 45 18 or 245 45 18 all the way can I do this with stock rims without rhe rear looking too funny ? Thanks

Manufacturer recommends 245 45 18 all round for winter tires. I have the same set up for my 03 S55.

I have the summer wheels off the car today and it's raised on jack stands as I am working on it. I am planning to switch to my winter tires on after I am done. Will have a picture up by tomorrow.

I have spare set of AMG rims that came with the car for the winter tires. I checked the size today and all four are 8.5" wide. My summer ones are 9.5" on the rear.
