Looking at 20x9 & 20x10.5 Vossen VFS 1's or CV1'S but need offset help

I picked up an 06' 211 E55 last year and I'm now planning on running new wheels. I'm looking at Vossen (I haven't decided on which yet, either VFS 1's or CV1'S) in a 20x9 f and 20x10.5 r and plan to lower on links. My concern is offset. I don't want to modify the fenders (rolling/shaving) but also don't want any rubbing. I was thinking 32-35 offset with 245/30 in the front and 40-42 offset with 285/25 in the rear (where I am most concerned). Does anyone think it would be a stretch to have this setup with no rubbing after being lowered with no fender modification? Anyone running these wheels with a similar setup while lowered? Any issues? Any suggestions on a better setup to avoid the aforementioned concerns? Thanks everyone in advance for any advisement.
