What do you think of these and will they fit - they only come in a mercedes offset in the 5x112.

Those are very nice looking wheels. However, why are you up-sizing them ? You'll have a tire with a sidewall that's so thin, the first time you run over a divot in the highway, you'll have to replace them (cha-ching). The staggered fitment of the OEM wheels are silly from the get-go. This is a sports car (so to speak) not an SUV.

IMHO: 18" all the way around, especially if you plan on lowering your car with some springs and dampers. It will also give you a wider range of tire options.
