Question about wheel fitment on E55

I have a friend offering me 20" Vossen wheels for my E55. He has a 2010 SL550.
Wheels:
Vossen VVSCV3 Monoblock 20"
Front: 20X9 with 245/35 tires
Rear: 20X10.5 with 285/30 tires

I understand the "perfect" tire size is 245/30 and 285/25

Im assuming 30 and 35mm offsets (from SL550).

Thanks,

X

30/35 series tires ride perfectly fine IMO.

I had 295/25 on my 20" wheels and wish I had 30's on it. I was under the impression that the 30's would be to tall for the car, I had wished that I went with a 19" wheel with a 30 series tire. Is this wheel size currently on an E?

We recommend the 25 series as the 30 is too tall and it might need some mods so it does not rub.
