Proper Offset for 8.5 Front 10.5 Rear W211 E55??

Does anyone know exactly which offset works correctly on a W211 E55 AMG with 8.5" front wheels 255/35/19 and 10.5 rear wheels running 295/30/19, without rubbing?

Will pay for the accurate assistance.

I am trying to find out a similar setup for my car


Stock suspension. STR 601 wheels (BBS LM Reps).
Front 19x8.5. ET30 running a Sumitomo HTRZ II 245/35/19.
Rear 19x10. ET 32 running the same tire in a 275/30/19.

My question is...Will I clear the front caliper with this setup without spacers. The sales guy told me it would be VERY close. Paying only $1500 for the whole set up shipped to me door, I was willing to roll the dice. I wanted to see if I will deff need spacers.
Any input?

30 offset in the fronts will clear. 35 offset will not clear. I believe the exact measurement to clear is 32 offset. I just got 19x8.5 with 35 et and had to put 5mm spacers to clear. I have 2004 E55.
