Are you groing w/ a staggered setup for winter w/ your 18's - 225 up front, 245 in the rear? Or 225 all around? Have never gone w/ a staggered setup for winter (everyone always says its better to have the same/thinner tire all around for winter driving), but does it make that much of a difference?
Yes it makes a big difference!

I've never driven staggered but I can tell you it'll be quite a rough ride!

My Dad owns a 2010 E350 4matic and my Mom has a 2010 ML350 and they both have the tires the same all around. I have a good friend who drives a heavily-moded Genesis during the winter and he too went with 18" all around non-staggered.

It's only from November till March that we really need to be safe after that the weather is pretty stable. Plus it doesn't snow all the time so just get a set of nice 18" non-staggered and you'll be really safe!

Where u going to order the VMR wheels from? Got a good dealer?
