Looking to buy rims but need help/suggestions

I'm planning on buying rims for my c350 but I am torn on the size and offset. I'm looking for either 18 or 19 with offsets that will line the tire right at the edge of the body of the vehicle.

I'm sure with everyone on this forum already with rims, if you don't mind sharing, could you provide me with the following:
Rim size
Offset front/rear
Tire size front/rear
Picture of your rims from the back on either side of the car.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Stick with

18's the ride quality and performance is much better than 19's and you won't need to worry about potholes
18x7.5 et47 225/40R18
18x8.5 et54 245/35R18
you might be able to get a 255 on the rear if not lowered

u should go for at least 19s i suggest.. i ordered the concave 20s... will b installed within a week or so.. if u interested in 20s.. i'll let u know the offsets when it's done.. i dunno which style u like so there was a tread abt this not long ago... u should go for the other styles not the concaves cuz wth our offsets.., it won't b concave enough but it's all abt taste...

Thanks to the two of you for suggestions. I am still researching but hope to buy rim and tires right after the new year.

I'd talk to ACG about getting you some Forgestar F14's. They'll treat you right :3
