Default Wheel Fitment help

OK... I know there are a million wheel threads on here. However i am in Afghanistan and have the worst internet imaginable. Ive searched what i can and now i come you you all seeking guidance. I have an 07 250 rwd. its my daily and im determined to stop heavily modding cars but i just want to lower it a bit and throw some nice mesh wheels on it. Ive determined that i will be going with the EZ coilovers (price is too nice to pass up) and i have found a set of wheels but i am unsure if i will run into issues with the offsets and stuff. Here are the numbers, FRONT- 19x8.5 +35 REAR 19x9.5 +38. Again its my daily so im not going for super aggressive but i dont want it to look cheezy either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You should be good on that setup and run 225-35 front and 245-35 rear for tires...

hard to assume what "a bit" is, but...

225/35 + 255/35.

shouldn't need fender mods.

Thanks for the input. I know "a bit" is not very specific. Im just going low enough to get rid of fender/wheel gap and tuck a little tire. The roads in Louisiana are terrible.

thanks for the clarification.

225/35-19 and 255/35-19 should be fine.

offset is the distance between the mounting pad of the wheel and the centerline of the wheel. the lower the offset, the farther out the wheel sits. the higher the offset, the farther in the wheel sits.
