Wheel offset confusion
I was confused regarding wheel setup so I read through 20some posts on rims and offsets on here and just confused myself even more.
I have a 2013 w204 with the 17" staggered setup (225/45/17 et47 front & 245/40/17 et58 rear).
My question is... I found myself some 18" rims that are 8.5" wide with a et35 all around, would i be able to do 225/40/18 et35 front & 255/35/18 et35 rear without rubbing and problems? Would it look ok?
thanks for your help in advance
Edit: They also have the wheels in a et45 setup i believe, would those be any better?

So if i get these rims with +45et would you think i would have a problem? The only thing that looks off is there will be a slight positive scrub radius.
I really want to get them but im trigger shy because I want to hear the opinion of someone who knows more about the fitment of wheels on our cars.
