Default (Rim) sizing help???

looking into getting a set of rims for spring time, just wanted to know what is suggested for the widest wheel i can go for without any rubbing or fender modding? i have an AWD and if anything, would like to stay 4 wheels the same, non staggared and use spacers. i will be lowered on f-sport springs, so anyone have any suggestions? also can i go wider if i went 18's instead of 19's? yah i know rookie questions lol, just dont want to make a mistake when buying rims

i suppose you can go 19x8.5 all around.... why not staggered... although i believe they do less service for the AWD right?? anyway... it depends what coloured car you like and what kinda design you like... F-Sport springs have conservative drops.. guess you can live with any offset within the +30 to abt +40 range...

really? is it because the f-sport drop is so conservative so there is less rubbing, not needing any fender mods?
