Wheel Fitment Question
I know this wheel fitment issue comes up all the time and its frustrating but I'm hoping for a little advice.
Car: 2010 c300 sport Black
Wheels:Powerwheels Pro 818 (see below)-- 18x8.5 all around 42 ET

I have 2 worries:
1. Will 42 offset stick out too much??? I'm going for a clean stock-ish look and if it sticks out any noticeable amount I need to pick different wheels.
2. Tires: I live in a downtown area and do a lot of parallel parking, and I'm not always perfect. I'm worried about curbing my new wheels, can I get a size larger tires and protect the rims a little more???
I have seen pics of people with 42offset in the front and its borderline acceptable but i've never seen anyone with 42offset in the rear. Does anyone else have 39-45 offset all around the vehicle? Pics? Thanks everyone
