Help with wheel offset

Hey guys .. I plan on buying Roderick 20" RW-2 CINQUE Machine Face & Black accent with Chrome Lip wheels (staggered) for my 08 CLS550. I was looking at the offsets and I'm confused as to which one will be the best option.
They have


Front - 20x8.5 with 25 or 32et
Rear - 20x10 with 25 or 38et

Any suggestions?

Also since the rear wheels are 20x10, should I go with 295/25/20 or 305/25/20 rear tires?

Thanks

Of those options definitely the 25 offset all around. The CLS fenders can take much more.
My recommendation is to find 9.5 wide fronts and 11" rears with 25 offsets or lower. 295 is still too large for 10". Go at least 1 lower.

I have 20x11 and running 305, I should have gone 295. Pics and specs are in my profile or past posts. Bgorman has great deals on wheels that fill the fenders!
