Spacer size advice/recommendations. Luke?

I am shopping for my R129 SL600 and I am torn between 2 wheel choices, the spacer size recommended for each will pretty much determine my choice.

Option 1:
18x8 37 offset (would 235/40's be better or would 245/40's be just fine?
18x9 37 offset ( --"-- 265/35 --"- --"--- -"- --"-- 275/40 --"- --"- --"-

Option 2:
18x8.5 35 offset (would 235/40's be better or would 245/40's be just fine?
18x9.5 35 offset ( --"-- 265/35 --"- --"--- -"- --"-- 275/40 --"- --"- --"-


If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Would a 10mm spacer all the way around be suitable for either option? If not, what would be the recommended size spacer?

Thanks,

depends on the weather
you're going to need about 5mm in either set
