Default 19" Staggered Wheel Help

I need some help with everyones experience. I'm thinking about buys some Trafficstar STM for a 03 GS300. Its lowered on Tein CS with about a 3/4" gap around. I was thinking about getting 19x8.5 +32 or +41 offset on 245/35/19 and 19x10 +35 or +47 offset on 275/30/19. Which offset will be better if I want to have the wheels flush with the fender? Which offsets will require fender to be shaved? Any recomendations or advice will help, Thanks.

35 will be fine in the front and 47 in the back is conservative i think you will be ok with a 42 in the rear

for a flush look you will need a lower offset, but if +32 and +35 is as low as you can go, that would be the best choice. You will need to mod the rear to keep from rubbing with passangers in the back.

Thanks for all the help, I am probably going to go with the +32 and +35.
