W140 has 18x8 / 18x9 .. Whats the tire size?
I have a set of W140 AMG Monoblock rims which are 18x8 Front and 18x9 Rear.

What is the correct size of tire to use on this?

I was thinking of using
255/45/18 Front
265/45/18 Rear

It currently has
245/40/18 Front
265/35/18 Rear

The current tires seem to skinny and ride terribly. What do you guys think?

255/45-18 fits on front only with 18x8.5 ET44-47 wheels

So that will make it appear like it has enough height? Right now it seems like the tires are too thin
