Advice requested 08 S550 4matic - wheels

HI Everyone,
I want to run a square 20 x 10" wheel and tire package on my car.
Looking for advice on offset that should work front and rear.

Leaning towards Stance SC-8 wheels. Or possibly Velgen VMB5, 6 or 7.

Thanks in advance.

20X10 is way too big. 20X8.5 is as big as I would go in the front. Why do you want so wide. Handling and driving in the rain will both suffer with this wide of a tire. I have 19X8.5 FR and 19X9.5 R on my 12 4matic. These cars like to tramline with super wide tires for some reason. Why not go staggered.

I love the look of a deep dish wheel. It is hard to find that in less than a 10” width.
Looks like the best staggered set up I can run is 9” ft 10” rear. I know that will work.
