+45 is starting to get "tight" and what you can get "away with", will depend on:
1. Amount of lowering
2. Tire size
3. Rim size (to some extent 17", 18", 19")
4. Shocks/bump stop changes...
HRE recommends that a 17x7.5" wheel for the CLS has an "optimum" offset of +52.
Lower offset == rubbing on the outside (like the inner lip of the rear wheel well)
Higher offset = rubbing on the suspension or the inside of the wheel well.
