NEED OFFSET ADVICE ASAP PLEASE!!!
I did all the research but couldn't find anything solid.
I have w209 CLK dropped with H&R Sports.
Bought rims 19x8.5 F 19x9.5 R w/ 235/35/19 F and 265/30/19 R.
OFFSET is 32ET F / 35ET R.
I am not too concerned about the R, but will the FRONTS OFFSET fit my car/setup without sticking out too much?
Thanks!

I have 19" x 8.5 on the front with a 235 width tyre.
I have an offset of 35 and they sit nicely.
You have a smaller offset, so they will stick out more.
I have posted some pics of my car on the Picture thread. Maybe some of those will help you judge.

Also, to the OP, if you are concerned that you may have a rubbing issue, then make sure you choose the tire brand carefully. Toyo T1R would probably be a good choice as they have a more "rounded" shoulder than some other tires.
Your set up will almost certainly work just fine though

stretch a 225 up front and you will be fine. stock offset up front is 37mm. so you will push 5mm out closer to the front fender. i run coilovers so i had to run 8" wheels up front with 20mm offset. all my wheels sit flush. i am slammed on coilovers with only a one finger fender gap.
i run 9.5" rims in the back as well and they look better in my opinion with 255's. gives it a slightly stretched look. plus it helps minimize any rubbing.
