Default What would be the best offset for... (93 SC300 and 19" wheels)

What would be the best offset for 19x8.5 for the fronts and 19x9.5 for the rears?

The car is a 93 SC300 and the wheel munufacturer's choices for the offsets are 10, 15, 35, and 38.

So, i should stay as close as I could to 50. should I use any spacers? And what size tires should I get? 245/40(F) and 275/35(R) or 235/40(F) and 265/35(R)

i think 40 would be enough. putting spacers only make the wheels stick out more (lower offset) so it will not help

for tires, if you can use 245 and 275 that's the best, but not sure if it will rub in the back without shaving the fender

umm, 35, that sounds pretty low..... you might need to do some work for the rear fender to get them fit without rubbing
