Mercedes E-320
wheel size and offset

I found this wheels that I want for my '97 E-320 the size is= 18 x 8.5 with 44mm offset

(1) would that affect anything ?
(2) would the tires stick out ?
(3) what size tires should I go with?

Thanks for your answers and comments.

Brabus uses FA: 8.5x18ET35 RA:8.5x18ET35 (or 25 if you want a more "aggressive" look
AMG uses FA: 8x18ET31 RA:9x18ET35

Does you wheel come with mounting kits??
Either way, I would still recommend you to make the offset to 35mm and go for 9.5x18 at the rear.

8.5x18ET35 225/40/18
9.5x18 ET35 (or 30) 255/35/18

Perfect !!!
