Rear Tires, going from 285 to 275

Current rear tires are 285/35/18. I can get my hands on some inexpensive 275/35/18 tires, would they also fit the stock rims? Thanks.

Yes, very little change in speed vs. display speed.

I just did the same for my SL55, from 295 to 285. No issues.
If the diameter changes by more than about 5%, you will get ESP errors and the cruise control won’t work above 100 kph or 62mph. This happens on my C32 if I change to different size snow tires.
