Tire size for 97' E320 with 17'AMG wheels?

I just bought 1997 E320 with 17' AMG wheels on.The tires are Falken 225/45/17 front and 245/40/17 rear.They look great but ride is hard.I am more interested in comfort than performance but would like to keep the 17'AMG wheels.Any advice for best tire size for those 17AMG's for better comfort ?
Thank you

Increase the size of the sidewall. Go with:

235/45/17 front or rear
255/40/17 rear only

Luke, I am assuming he has the 1997 E420 Sport with OEM 17X7.5 AMG rims. Will that 265 rear fit on the rim?
