When I bought my pre-owned 2013 Brabus, that is how it came. 15's up front and the wider 17's in the back. Others can chime in here, but that's how it supposed to be.
The outside diameter of 225/45R17 is 634.3mm
The outside diameter of 175/55R15 is 573.5mm
The outside diameter of 225/45R17 is therefore 10.6% bigger than 175/55R15 which is far too much.
Also, if you look at the following Toyo tires link you will see that 6.5J is too narrow for 225/45R17 tires.

The US spec Brabus came with 215/35-17 tires on the rear from the factory. The stock rear wheels were 7.5x17. The 175/55-15 tires you asked about were the stock Brabus size on a 5.5x15 wheel on the front. I have the 17" wheels on all four corners of my Brabus with no isues at all.
Ho
how about 225/35/17? Can it fit in the rear? The store is out of the one with 215 wide 😢The outside diameter of 225/45R17 is 634.3mm

same question: how about 225/35/17? Can it fit in the rear? The store is out of the one with 215 wide 😢
why it is so difficult to find the size for the smart… maybe just not popular
thank you all again

Max tire width for a 6.5" wide wheel is 215.
Whatever tire size you choose, make sure that the front and rear tires equal the same diameter.

That is the stock rear tire size for the Euro Brabus. It is mounted on the same 7.5x17 wheel as the US spec Brabus. The 215/35-17 tire is getting very hard to find any more. I will have to go to the 225 size when I replace mine.
