Default +22 offset on IS350?

I was just wondering, cuse there was a post that someone had a set of volk TE37 with the 350Z/G35 offset which is +22. would any of you guys know if running the following:

8.5x19 +22 front
9.5x19 +22 rear

will work on an stock IS350, NOT LOWERED?

Yes...doable.

I'm running 19x8.5+23 225-35 and 19x9.5 +24 235-35 and I have more room....only rear fenders are rolled.

You can fit them but I dunno how good stretched tires are going to look on TE37s.

thx for the help guys, cuse I really like that curve in type of wheel, with offset around mid 20's.

and other thing, do I have to worry if I have few ppl in the back sometime or 5 ppl total in the car? cuse of the weight... like 600 pounds or so.
