Default Wheel questions

I dont know much about offsets, so i was wondering if this set up is going to be aggressive or conservative. I also will be lowering my car.

the wheels are 19x8.5 +28 in the front
19x10 +43 in the rear
Tire sizes would be 235s in the front and 275s in the rear.

I would say its a pretty conservative set-up. Compared to what a lot of people are stating to run.

You can tuck your rear a bit without fender mods but your front might rub but you might want to go 265/35 just to be safe and less fat looking tires.

Would a 265 be a stretched tire on a 10 inch wheel?

What about these specs:

20x8.5 offsets from +30 to +50
Then either one of these depending on if i will rub.
20x9.0 offsets from +18 to +56
20x10.5 offsets from +20 to +45

I found a set of 20s i like and the specs they make are
20x8.5
20x9.0
2010.5
20x12

Does that mean i could go 20x8.5 on the front and 20x9.0 in the rear and slam it on coilovers??that might be good for a staggered but conservative set up?
