Looking to upgrade my wheels. Does anyone know the proper wheel
offset for my 2006 C55 to clear the front calipers. Thanks in advance.

ET 30/32 front.
ET 35/37 rear.
Strut clearance is the most important front consideration.

The offsets are fine. You are going to be very tight with 8.5 & 9.5 rims & I don't recommend stretching smaller tyres.
I suggest a test fit. You might need some fender rolling & high spot trimming in the wheel arches

Ok. Now the Wheel Supply Company is saying I MUST stay with the OEM size
tires even if I go 1" wider front and rear. Does that make since?
(OEM P225/40r18 FRT / P245/35r18 REAR)

Just to clear up some stuff,...
Front:
18x8.5 ET30
225/40R18
Rear:
18x9.5 ET35
255/35R18
*** NO fender rolling required!
The only way to you can do 235 on front is with 19"
Front:
19x8.5 ET29
