You sure? I thought even a 550 without sport pkg came with a 245/45/18 tire. I could be mistaken though as its rare to see a 550 without a sport package these days.

OEM staggered set-up is F - 245/19, R 275/19. You can probably still run these widths if 18's also. Post pics when you get them.

18":

275/35/18 rears and 245/40/18 fronts

and 19" with sport package:
