Wheel offset

What are the wheel offsets for a 2000 E55? What offsets will fit it? I'm looking at 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear. THANKS!

front - 18x8.0 et31

rear - 18x9.0 et35

the front is a difficult fit. A 19x8.5 would require and offset something like et25.

I run an Antera rim with 18x8.0 et35 and OEM tires size of 245/40/18. That setup moved the tire inward only 4mm and it rubbed inside using a broad shoulder Nitto 555 tire. Switched back to the OEM Dunlop 9000's which have a rounded shoulder and hardly any room left.
