18x8.5J offset +48 fit on W212?

Hi,

I'm considering upgrading my stock W212 17" to either 18" or 19". Right now I cannot be sure what the best offset is on the wheel. I would like to use the same wheel size for all 4 tires. (245/40-18 or 245/35-19)

Is the best offset for 18x8.5J +48, same as the E550 4Matic setup?

What about 19"? Would the best wheel size be 19x9.0J with an offset of +48 as well?

Thanks very much for all your help in advance.

just checked with my local auto shop, the guy there recommends:

18x8.0J ET+35

is this pretty much the same as 18x8.5J ET+48

thanks very much in advance

assuming 18x8.5J offset ET +48 is the most appropriate size for W212,
would the best 19" wheel size be: 19x8.5J offset ET +48 as well?
