If someone is worried about potholes and wants a 30 series tire, then stick with 19s.

Sorry for missing some of the follow up questions.
I have no clue what the offsets are. I asked a couple of times in the build process and never got that feedback. All I know was I liked the way they looked on Godfathers car, felt the offset was good and went with them.
Front spacers: Maybe, but I think they're pretty close with the ride height at a reasonable height. As low as I was I had more than 3 degrees of negative camber in the car which gives the illusion of needing more offset, I raised the car back up a hair, got different camber bolts and alighment and I think the fronts are good. Rear is spot on.
Worried about 25 series tire in the rear: Well, not really. If something happens it happens. The E55 is my wife's daily driver and no issues at all since the wheels went on in july. Holding up very well.

Surprisingly there were no damages to suspension or anything else under the car. I was really amazed that nothing broke except my wheel. I took the car for inspection at a local tire and suspension shop. Also took the car to Beverly Hills Mercedes for supercharger bearing issue, and had them inspect the tire and everything on that side and nothing was found. Piano black F10s on my car are super I get many compliments during the day. Overall F10s are really nice wheels and the fitment is perfect on E55s. One problem It has been over a month now and I am still waiting for that one wheel, getting these wheels are really pain in the a**.
