Amg Rimms Help

I have a w220 and im getting a deal on the new S65 amg wheels they are 8.5x19
all around and with 245/40/19.So is there any problem with theese wheels will the front wheels stick out more then the back??.
The guy told me he only has them in 8.5 and he said i could use distance discs in the rear.

So the big question is will this fit and will this look good im not out for the brutal look just some thing nice.

And i would want an opinion on the distance discs to and on the rear tyre size....

Appriciate all thelp and soon so thath i dont loose the deal...
