and what size tires would you preferably like to run: narrowest tires possible to make the wheels fit, typical +1 tire sizing, or the meatiest tires you can stuff under the fenders?
the Linea Corse wheel from wheeldude is 19x8.5 F 19x10 R. I initially wanted the Varrstoen because of decent price and looked pretty good. My first choice overall was the Vossen Cv3 but had doubts about 20's not to mention those would be very pricey.

Regarding tire sizes go with 225/35/19 front and 235/35/19 rear. Go with BC coilovers and have them give you stiff spring rates. And stick with the 22 offset.
I thought that the +22 offset would require some fender mods

all of those offsets will require COILS AND FENDER MODS. spring drop wont camber enough to fit those at all, and first time you hit a bump on the freeway your going to WRECK your fenders. PLEASE do your self a favor, and get wheels with offsets in the 30s if your only doing springs.

actually spring drop with no mods ive answered 100s of times
19x8.5+27 215/35
19x9.5+30 235/35
this is no fender mod spring drop no rub.

The Linea Corse dosn't require any fender mods. You can run 225/25 or 235/35 FRont, 265/35 0r 265/30 rear depending on your ride height.

This is with 235/35 and 275/30 one figer gap, no fender mods. I had slight rub up front, nothing major tho.

You get the Varrstoen in
Front: 19×8.5 +34
Rear: 19×9.5 +33
with a 5 x 120PCD and new inserts and redrill them for 5 x 114.3PCD.

Perfect offset just incorrect PCD

Hey, i was looking into the 18 inch version of this wheel. Its 18x9 with 40 offset. The offset is high on a wide wheel, I was wondering if it will work without spacers?

the offset will work without spacers, given that they clear the 2is brake calipers.

careful tire size selection is recommended.

My opinion I think 18's would look small without having a good drop, considering the stepped lip makes the face look smaller.
