E63 Rear Tire Width?
I currently have a 275/35/18 rear tire on a stock 18" E63 rear wheel. Is it possible or recommened to go with a 285/35/18 rear tire?

Going with 285s may make the already soft sidewall too soft and maybe even too "loose" On the other hand, a friend of mine was ble to mount 295s to the stock wheel but the tires were BFG drag radials. They actually fit very well.

Stock E63 (and E55) rims are 18x9 and stock E63 P30 rims are 18x9.5.... I know the 275s fit comfortably but feels slightly soft at some corners, so I'm not sure how the 285s on stock rims will feel
