Tire and wheel size for '99 E320

I just bought a '99 E320 because I think it's a great car that looks even better. Now, after finding this sight, I feel obligated to do dress it up. I want to start with going to an 18 x 8 wheel. Is there a reason, other than aesthetic, to go to an 18 x 9 on the rear? If I go with the staggered set up, what's the best tire size? Also, do I need to lower it and what's the general consensus on how much to lower? I'm brand spanking new at this stuff, so any advice would be great. Thanks.

Thanks, I'll check them out. I like the AMG Monoblock style. I found some replicas at Bekkers, but they said they're out of stock so I'll shop around for a reasonable price on a set of AMG's. I prefer a thick, heavy looking wheel. Any suggestions?

My only suggestion would be to go unique. It is real hard to make this car not look good when you spend some money on nice wheels. I would also look at some 19’s. Bigger wheel looks nicer in my opinion.
