Correct Offsets for 19" Rims - CLK 55 AMG

Can anyone give me info on the correct offsets for 19" rims for a current CLK 55 AMG. My car will be arriving shortly with 18" wheels, 7.5 front & 8.5 rear. I want to replace them with 19" 8.5 front & 9.5 rear but have been asked for the front and rear offsets. I have been told 35 front & 37 rear, can someone confirm if this is correct or not, these wheels have to be imported into Australia so it will be a little difficult for me to send them back if they do not fit properly.

Thanks

In 19x8.5F I have seen as low as 28mm.
In 19x9.5R I have seen as low as 32mm.

Hi,
I may have put my question in the wrong text. It is not the tyre depth I am worried about but the degree of offset required for the rims on the front and rear of the car so the rims & tyre's do not rub. 19" rims that fit on one model MB do not fit on another because the offset's are different.

Hi,

Thanks for the info. I have been told today that the 19" 8.5 front rims are 31 offset and the 19" 9.5 rears offset is 35 by the people that I have ordered the rims from, I hope they fit.

They'll fit fine. I wasn't talking about tire depth.
I was talking about how little offset I've seen.
