Will 245/40/18 tires fit on the stock 18x8 front rims and 275/35/18's fit on the rear 19x9 rims?

First, I think you mean 18x9 rims?

Anyways, the answer is YES. I just bought the AMG Style IV wheels from Tirerack/Luke and the 18x8 and 18x9 wheels have the 245/40-18 and 275/35-18, respectivly installed on them.

Tirerack has delivered these wheels to you? They don't show on the Tire Rack website in 18X8 & 18X9 for W211.

So, are you saying that TireRack/Luke are taking 'special orders' on alloys not offered on their website? Can you share the prices paid?

Sure can give prices.

Check out these two thread for all the ansawers.

1) https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...threadid=40118

2) https://mbworld.org/forums/sh...&threadid=40117

Luke/Tirerack will give this price to anyone.

Good Luck Mark

For many things, if you don't see it on the TireRack website, you should give Luke a call and try.

For instance, wheels get discontinued, then the stock goes down. If there's not enough stock to warrant a listing on the website, the wheels are removed. Then I called Luke looking for bent rim replacements, and he often can find one or two or a set in their inventory computer... but there were none on the website.
