New guy offset inquiry

Hello. This is my 1st Merc. Coming from an BMW e90, I was used to low offsets. From what I've been searching, we're pretty up there. 45-50ish?

I have a C350sport Stock ride height (keeping it there for a while), I want to upgrade my 17's to 18's.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/290653594122...ht_3367wt_1917

The wheels shown in that link are 8.5 and 9.5 18's front/rear respectively with a 35 offset. Will they fit without rubbing?
Tires in mind will be 225/40/18 front 255/35/18 rear

If I sue them as winters then I'll be using 225 40 18 all around.

Any issues?

There's another set with 45 offsets front and back. Thanks

They will fit, but u will need a slight stretch and roll the front fenders as added precaution

Thank you. What about the ones with et45 front and back? Also need a roll?
I'd like to avoid that if possible.

45 should be ok, there isnt much fender to roll back there so your better leaving it alone. I still rolled my front for the sake of when im doing a sharp turn, that it wont get in the way. I have +44 in the front
