Need help with W208 wheel offset.

I am looking to purchase a set of wheels and the sizes are:

18x7.5 ET 35 front

18x8.5 ET 38 Rear

Will these fit the W208 with no drama?

Another set I was looking at was:

18x8.5 ET33 Front

18x9.5 ET38/45 Rear


Which will fit right? Or am I just way off with the offsets?

Thanks.

depends on the weather
18X7.5 ET37
18X8.5 ET34

is what AMG recommends


8.5 / 9.5 combos are a little more aggressive

and it would use 33mm - 35mm offset


so you are very close with both your sizes/offsets .... (except for that 45mm)
