18x8.5 up front, 18x9.5 in back, all with a 43mm offset. I will be running them with 10mm hubcentric spacers and 235/40's up front, 265 35's in back. Kumho Ecsta ASX will be the tires this time around due to budget contraints.
I think I lined up both 9.5" rears for the pics, hence the seeming massive width.

Nope, keeping it stock height. I briefly contemplated swapping to #1 spring pads all around, but don't want to deal with any alignment issues that may arise. I've already got two moneypits (old BMW & 12v diesel Dodge), so I'm trying to keep it simple with the MB.
I'm fairly certain they'll fit up front as I've previously run 235/40/18 on 7.5" wide wheels with 36mm effective offset (46 offset with 10mm spacers) and though it was pretty close, there were a few millimeters to spare. It's the rears I'm a bit worried about, but others on the forum have stated that they should fit fine.
