Question Can I replace 16" with 18" for 600SEL?

As you know the original tire size for a 600SEL 1992 is 235 60 15.
Can I replace the rims with 18" and tires with 215 55 18 OR 235 50 18 without having and problems? The car has an ASR. I used the tire calculator and it indicated +0.8% and +0.6% difference. Thank you in advanced : ))..

225x50x18= 26.9 bigger

255x40x18 = 26.0 closer to stock but ruff ride
