18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear, but, what are the offsets? I'm working on a custom fitment and need to figure out what we're working with and how much room there is to play.

Suggestions on what works? Same as the E550 sedan? The shop I'm working with has prior experience there but we don't know how the Coupe compares.

stock 18x8 with ET45 front and 18x8.5 ET49 rear

You can use 10mm or 15mm front and 15mm or 20mm H&R spacers

In other words for stock width wheels you can use offsets of 30 to 35mm both front and rear.

I'm using 8.5" front wheel with offset of 35mm, rear - 9.5" with offset of 38mm. Above offsets give me 100% flush look.

perfect, thanks. anybody check clearance inboard? I'm not looking for the flush look but rather to put the widest set of wheels I can to run proper rubber.
