Only yesterday I did a test by putting a 5 MM spacer under my ET38 rears
(285/30/19) and reduced the offset to ET33 (still 5mm more than CLS ET28) I then reversed one wheel onto a curb for a compression test.
My rear wheel literally pushed out the top of the rolled fender, over 150 deg of its circumference. If that happened at any speed , my tires would have been history!
Stay away from CLS or SL65 wheels , both ET25 Front and ET28 Rears, They are just not worth the hassle.
