18 inchers
I'm thinking about some 18X10s for all round.
Any thoughts?
How about 18X9.5 on front and 18X10 on rear?
I was planning on running the stock rear 265s all around.

Now, IMO I wouldn't run 18x10 in the front, I think it's almost promised to rub. The ideal setup would be
18x8.5F
18x10R
As for tire sizes, I'd run 245/40/18 in the front, and probably 265 width in the rear. I can't remember the profile for the rear, I haven't seen someone run 18x10 in a while on a W211.

jangy...
I was thinking of a similar setup. I'm not sure about 10", but maybe a 9 or 9.5 and at least 265 in the front. I know people have used the rear wheel and tire and put in on the front with good results of dialing out some understeer.

I know the guys with rear on front setups don't experience rubbing...
Of course, I would only do it if it doesn't rub
If you're just going 245/40-18 fronts and 265/35-18 rears, you're pretty much at stock sizes.
Maybe Jangy can explain what gains he hopes to get with a wider front wheel and tire?

I want less push. Lowering the front just a smidge will help. Wider tires (265) would be nice. I would like to try the AMG 5 spoke 18X10s w/265s and see if they rub.
I also plan on no rubbing and no body modifications.
