Your dealer needs to man up and get you a new, correct set of wheels. That is crazy to have brand new wheels cut down.....

5mm easy, 10mm likely if you keep the tire sizes the same.

My MB master mechanic thinks............................. it will work!!!
Jangy states............................................ ..it might work???????
Rafal warns............................................. .....it wil rub!!!!
If PS2s are the same dimensions as the original Pilot Sports (with unidirectional treads), you will be fine. I'm running those sizes in Pilot Sports on my 19" LMs with no rubbing whatsover.
