Max Tire Width for CLK on 18" AMG 5 spoke

New to the forum.

I upgraded my tires & wheels package before picking up my 2005 CLK 500.

The current set up is:
Wheels:
18" AMG 5 spoke
Tires:
Rear: 255 / 35 / 18
Front: 225 / 40 / 18

I am definately planning on lowering the suspension as I want a slightly more aggressive look. The current tires are also too narrow IMHO. My question is can I go wider on front and back tires, and can I use the same rims?

Thanks Luke. Will I be able to use the existing rims?
