Wheel Experts help me out a minute please

Hey guys,
I am looking at a set of Forgestar F14s in the following fitment:
18x8.5+32 Front w/245/40/18
18x10+38 Rear w/275/35/18

Will this be a conservative fit or fairly aggressive on my '04 E55? I know you guys have tons of expertise on this car and these wheels so I wanted to ask the pros

Thanks!

I like 18's on the diameter. Just a personal preference. I was asking about the normally referred to aggressiveness in regards to flush fit with fender. Will this be flush at all or conservative?

Pretty conservative, itll poke out a noticably more than the stockers but won't bbe flush. If you get a good deal I datum go for it nothing wrong with 18's imo

Should be flush.. My 9.5s are in the rear, your 10s should be. Not sure of my offset though.. If they were made for the 55, then they will fit nicely.

Will be way more aggressive than the stockers..

Way lighter.. 18s are about 18 lbs in front and 19 lbs in the rear.. Stock weights are around 27 I believe.

I have Forgestar F14's in 18x8.5 in the fronts.

And 18x10 in the rears. I think my offsets were something like +35 and +30.

I fit 285/35/18 on the rears but, I'm going to go with 275 or 265 drags.

Wheel size on 06' E55

Here's a dumb question.....i'm about to pick up some stock twin spoke wheels for my 06' E55 but the size is 18x8.5 (f) and 18x9.5 (r). My original wheels are 18x8 (f) and 18 18x9....will these work? Not sure of the offset but i'm guessing they should be similar since they are stock wheels.

Mercedes and more
If anyone is looking to order Forgestar's let us know. We have been stocking a set at a time to help cut down turnaround time for certain applications. Be sure to check with us. We can help with fitment and tire sizing as needed.
