Default Wheel fitment questions

Ok i so posted this question in the wheel thread forum and didnt get a single response. Ive looked through the threads and most people run staggered so heres my questions....

Wheel fitment question:

So i got a set of 19x10 +35 for my AWD. I test fitted the front and it seems to be hitting the inside arm. How big of a spacer would i need to clear the fronts? will i have any issues with the rears? Also, the wheels came with new federal tires but super stretch with 225/35/19. I plan on being pretty low, will these work or i still need to get wider tires? I plan on rolling the front fenders and shaving the rears on BC racing coilovers. I may settle with Tanabe DFs but maybe the wheel gap would look a bit silly with such a spec? ]

Any input would be great fitment gurus, thanks!
