You did not
provide enough information.
Like are you going to lower it?
Are you sticking with the stock AMG 17 in rims?
If other rims, the width and offsets on the stagger.

yes lowered with b&g springs and konis adj. shocks.
no to the 17's 18's will be the diameter. prefer a 9.5 wide or 10" wide offsets to be determined . i know 8.5 wide will fit and i think 9 will be ok with a 40 et. i have run 18x8.5 et35 without issue but need more rubber on the ground.

max lowered
front18x8.5 et30 225/40R18
rear18x9.5 et35 265/35R18
And you will need to massage the bumper lip and roll the fenders.
If Brabus and carlsson stuck with 225's on the front it must be limited for some reason.
You are going to need camber eccentrics and rear camber links, so do it right the first time and budget the cost for those additional items.
