C63 wheels offset

Look at a set of wheels for my C63 with the following size/offset. I did some search, and I know these offsets are off compared to what most people are running. But would like to get a better idea on how it'll look and see if it'll actually fit.

Front: 19x8.5 ET 38 5x112 LM 322
Rear: 19x9.5 ET 38 5x112 LM 323

What tires will I be able to fit on it?

Thanks in advance

You should be OK wiht the +38 front with 235 tires to be safe. I think one member here was running +35 front with his HRE.
+38 rear could be too much. That is the main problem we have with our cars, our rear offset sucks. You would need widen arches.
But I'm pretty sure Sam from Dubai could post you a few pics

the rears will stick out too much and look weird. The fronts are fine with a 235/30/19 tire.

To get the rears to fit you have to shave about 5-6mm off the back of the wheel, which might not be safe.

yeah but the car will look crooked going down the road, you'll barely have any of the rear tire making contact with the road, and you will eat tires like the engine eats gas....

I would recommend getting wheels that fit instead of working it the other way around...

Not safe.

Agreed with you. Just thought I can make them work as I run very aggressive cambers on my semi-track cars and my track cars.

Thanks.

We don't have rear camber adjustment, so it won't help unless you get aftermarket arms

It probalby won't work.
I am running ET43 9,5x19 and 245/30/19 tires to avoid rubbing in the back.
Lowered on H&R coils. It's a tight fit but it works.

I don't see any difference between the stock 255 and my 245.
