rim help ! PLZ

hey guys I'm getting a good deal on some vossen cv5 wheels but the only thing is worrying me is the off set of the wheels they are 20x9 front and rear. 25mm offset. usually people go for 20x8 or 9 in the front and 20x10 in the rear my question is will 20x9 all they way around make car look bad ? thanks in advance for the help and advice

The handling is better on a square setup.... You just need to find out if the offsets will let the wheel clear the big AMG brake kit... I don't know **** about wheels or offsets sorry, but I would like to get a square set up!

I could be mistaken, but they sound like they are c class fitment. The offset is too low and the wheels will sit far inside the wheel openings. It may look odd. Spacers could fix it but I'd rather just wait for a set with proper fitment.

It's actually the opposite the lower the offset the more the wheels will stick out. Op I would just go with the suggested sizes I think the fronts might be too aggressive but I'm not positive.
