Precisely, stock is 225/255 and 235/265 is tolerable. The latter will look best considering the additional rim widths. Almost forgot, another point to consider is change in offset.

You can only change the offset at this point outward and not inward because the AMG wheels don't have swapable spacers. Go with narrower tires as recommended and if you still have slight rubbing issues, just roll the inside of your front fenders and you'll be good to go. Remember that if you end up rolling the fenders that you need to heat the paint up prior to using the roll machine to avoid cracking the paint in the edges of the fender.

The tire sizes will work. I am curious. What was the offset of your OEM rims?
