Rim Offset Question

I have a 2003 E55 AMG Mercedes. I am looking at buying some 19 inch AMG style rims. 8.5 front and 9.5 back. My questions are what should the offset be on these, And will these tires that I have fit. rear 275/30/19 and front 245/35/19. I keep getting different answers from the company's I am looking at buying from.

I was told by one of the wheel pros on here you want low 20 offset for the front, and low 30 offset in the rear. Tires should fit no prob

Thanks for the info. All the rims I see for the E55 on Ebay have a 35mm offset. Just don't have a clue if they will work.

This place is a joke.
35mm offset is pretty standard for AMG reps. The one area of caution are the front brake calipers, some wheel designs have spokes that will hit them. Why not contact the seller to verify the fitment? Try here too: http://www.oewheelsllc.com/

So would a 35 offset have worked without hitting.
