That's the factory (staggered) tire size that Mercedes decided on. Not sure why you'd want to mess with that kind of R&D. While 225/50 might work, I don't know if that would fit on your 8.5" wide rear wheel properly?

My advice, either stick with 245/45 in the rear or get some non-staggered wheels and run 225's all around.
