Exclamation Perfect Offset for complete custom wheels? what is it?

ok guys, W203, C32/C55 i searched, but it just came out with "offset" generalization, but not what i was looking for specifically.

So i am in the process on having a complete custom wheels made for the C32, and i would like to know what is the perfect offset for our cars?

currently, the wheels i have on right now is:
Front: 32ET
Rears: 35ET

and the wheels fitment is, should i just stick with those offset or what? thanks in advance guys!

There is no "perfect" offset. It also depends on wheel width and construction. Custom wheels can mean a variety of things. You should go and read the tirerack on that.

Running +20 & +22 front/rear. Fronts would be poking a bit unless you hammer out the fender, and rears can definitely go out more with stretch
