you can go much more than that, I have two sets that I did 5mm on one and 8mm on the other. We are talking wheel hubs here, NOT the cars hubs, not sure people reading this know what I/we mean here. Most wheels are almost identical, they are just cast/forged w a thinner hub/boltup thickness to adjust for offset. Think about forged wheels, its the same wheel but they can make any offset you want, HOW? They adjust the cast and machine the wheels. U can simply call around and find a highend or good machine shop that does CNC routing. They will mont the rim and buzz off whatever u need and or what they think is safe. My BRABUS wheels were 30 out back and 35 out front, I did 5mm fronts and 8mm rears and I could have went more out back they are thick as hell..........

I guess each shop have different ideas of safety. When I had the Iforged's the guy would not allow me to remove too much due to safety issues. But also at 30+ et's the hub would be thicker than a 45et. I am not sure what the thickness would be sufficient to handle curb weight and the standing weight of our cars.

So I just picked up some 20's on c-list, I don't think I like them as much as I thought I did. They are not staggered and I believe they should be. 20"x 7.5 all the way around. I got them fir a deal but I'm more than likely going to sell them before the end of the summer or spring!

Something about that red made those wheels pop, but they still look real nice on your ride.
some MB center caps & spacers to push em out a little would complete the look.

Well I already ordered the center caps, as far as the spacers go, since the wheels are so skinny I'm gonna leave'em like that and perhaps replace the wheels in back with a wider pair, that is if I even keep these. Most def it was the red that makes those wheels "jump". Got the entire set plus wheels for $900, can't beat that though.

I was thinking they could probably take off more, but I'll see what the shop says. There is a lot of meat on the center hub on the inside. I went w/ a 275 rear with the Hankook V12's. I kinda wish I went w/ a 265, but I had read that the Kooks run a little narrow. Oh well. Now I just have to get under there and see how much room I have so I don't start rubbing on the inside.
Check out this thread. His wheel specs are very close to your wheel specs.

I'm thinking this would be a very very tight fit. The ET upfront is too aggressive with those tires.. you may get away with 225's, or 215's but the 215's are not weight specific to our cars. The rear's ET is also aggressive but you may be able to squeeze in 265's stretched. With your current specs you will rub in all corners even on stock height. If you like the POKE look (pass the fenders) then this setup will give you that. You may want to double check with JimmytheGreek. He's the guru...

But I tell you right now it won't be easy.
You have to shave or roll (preferably roll) your rear fenders. Heat gun any tire friction points on your fender liner. With a 45 offset you have to run stretched tires... like a 255/30.
You also have to shave or roll your front fenders. If you want to stick with wide tires and don't want the stretched look the only solution is too pull your fenders and repaint them if you don't want damaging it especially if you decide to go lower.

Took some pictures before I put my stockies back on. Gonna unreverse mount the front and just leave the rears as I said. Shaving the rear fenders then getting some 3mm spacers for the back possibly and 5m for the front.
So final specs will possibly be something like:
9 +40 (45 before spacers)
10 +32 (35 before spacers)
Here are the pictures:
FRONT
REAR

225/30/20 up front w +35
255/25/20 out back w +40
you cannot clear w 30 profile out back w a 40 offset. maybe w 45 offset. u must use a skinny brand tire either way. 20's are no good for w204s too much a pain w tires and $$$
