Double Checking Rim Specs.

I'm ordering some new rims and I want to be 100% sure they are the correct offsets. I'm not sure which tires im going to run. Both should work, right?

Front: ET 32, 19x8.5, 245/35/19 Toyo T1R or Kumho Exsta SPT

Rear: ET 35, 19x9.5, 275/30/19 Toyo T1R or Kumho Exsta SPT

I haven't spent much time researching front offsets, will 32 work?

35 seems aggressive for the rear but I think it should work?

The sizes for the tires are correct as far as I know. Btw, what happened finally with your 20" set that you bought from eurotech ??

They took them back for me. I charged them with my AMEX so they didn't really have a leg to stand on.

They still insist that ET 30 is the correct rear offset for an E Class with 9.5" width rims. No matter how hard I tried to explain to the contrary they kept insisting it was correct. They said they have multiple customers running this setup, I don't understand how - the tires were literally sticking out of the fender.
