E500 4Matic rim fitment questions

I want to get 20 inch rims for my car for the stance look just have some quick questions I am going with a 20x9.5 set up all around probably gonna be a 245/35/20

I want the wheels to poke out like a 1/4 inch out of the fender what is the best offset I can get for a poked out look?

Will I need spacers in the front?

Is it possible to go with a 10 inch rim on the back even though it's 4matic?


Thanks in advance

The need for spacers is dictated by the offset, do you know the offset of the rims? You can read the following for guidance

wheels

When I was looking to change my rims found E55/63 rims will fit. Yes I went up to 18". No desire to deal with speedo change. I'm running 8.5-245/9.5-275. Looked to see i could up the size by one on both front and rear(255/285) with room.

Just my .02

Love your set up your wheels look flush with the body that's the set up I want just with 20s. Not experiencing any "drivetrain loss"?

Did you calculate tire height ratio you will have to buy to maintain wheel rpm?
I think it will be in the range of 15, meaning very, very skin.
Not direct comparison, but look what other MB owners think about big wheels.
