Tire sizes

Currently I'm running stock wheels and stock tire sizes F245/45/18 R265/40/18. Was wondering if I can run a 275 without rubbing. This is on a 2003 S55. Thanks.

You can run 275 at the front if you want to!

I would recommend 265/40 on 18 x 9 all round, or 275/40 on 18 x 9.5 all round. The offset needs to be 43mm to 46mm.

mercedes benz 98 clk 320
Idk if this helps anyone if u ever have a related issue to this,i was running a 275/40/18 ... could've gone 35* im lowered on lowering links and noticed when hitting bumps or on a rough street the door locks would unlock ,i couldnt find the culprit until i needed rear tires and replaced with 255/40 18 and never had the issue again ,I've researched its your module inside the trunk if u ever have door lock issues, some type of receiver, or the parking stick wiring might be reading it on park etc... but im glad i found this out if someone ever has this issue u will know where to check first before it turns into a wheres waldo game .
