Trying to decide on wheels with lowering links in mind...

I am trying to decide on which wheels for my car 2011 E550 and I think I know what I am going to go with which are the Niche Milans with the following specs:

Wheels
19x8.5 5x112 ET 42 - Front
19x9.5 5x112 ET 35 - Rear

Tires
245/35/19 - Front
275/30/19 - Rear

However, I am worried that that the offset won't be right for both the fronts and the rears. I plan on adding lowering links as well with a 1.25" drop in Comfort mode. Are these going to work, or should I start looking to change the specs? Thanks!

Those sizes sound off to me.. Typically the front offset on the w212 is a lower number than the rear.... a 20x9 et32 front and 20x10-10.5 42mm rear sit perfectly flush. I don't have time to run the calculations for misc Milan's at the moment, but I would not order those sizes. Read up a bit more here on what people have put on their car. You'll find a ton of specs/photos/options if you dig a bit or use the search feature. I love the car though! I can't wait to see what you settle on!

Thank you very much for your reply! I will look for something will a better fitting offset. Thanks!

*Edit*
Looks like they do go with a better setup:
Wheels
19x8.5 5x112 ET 34 - Front
19x9.5 5x112 ET 48 - Rear
