need HRE wheel advice

i'm planning to buy off some guy's HRE 547R 19x9 F and 19x10 R to put on my 2003 E320. the front offset is 38 and the rear is 44...my question: i'm kinda not sure if the offset is right...will it fit? i physically can't try on the rims first because the dude lives on the other side of the country. i like the rims to be flush to the body without rubbing. could you give me advice on the correct offset for my car...i would really appreciate it!!! i asked around dealers and HREwheels but they're being *****s by not telling me the right offset for my car.

thanks!

Jay,
that's strange. I would expect them to be more helpful.
Although they specialize in Porsche, they also do a lot of MB work - I suggest calling Matt at ByDesign in LA. Sorry I do not have the # handy, but they do have a website where you can find the #. Google search.

I can tell you the AMG wheels I just purchased are offset 30 front and 39 rear. Remember the higher the offset number the more the wheel is pushed in towards the center of the car.

Good Luck.... Mark
