Default Need your help with offset!

Can someone point me in the right direction as far as choosing the most aggressive offset without having to do any major modifications?

Looking to run the following set:
Front: 19x8.5 Offset: ??
Rear: 19x9.5 Offset: ??
Tires:
Front: 235/35-19
Rear: 265/30-19

I want to have an offset that will look decent on my car, but not the extent that it'll require modifications (i.e. camber kit, rolling fenders, brakes, etc.). Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

There are so many varying offsets on this thread you could make yourself dizzy reading the entire thread...like I did...twice!
My recommendation, to avoid fender mods:
Front: +32 to +35 offset
Rear: +35 to +38 offset
Depends a little on the rim look/design as well, and what's available, but that should get you to where you want to be.

19x8.5 +35 19x9.5 +40

Vertini sells RF series in 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +38 which is perfect.

How do they feel driving? does the car feel noticeably more responsive?
weights?
Yeah, I didn't want to compromise the ride quality, so went with 18's. I also went with a "square" setup to minimize understeer. I weighed the tire/wheel package and it was 5 pounds less than the stock 17's. I think I do notice very slightly quicker acceleration, and I think they look great!

Finally decided on some wheels and picked up a set of rotiform rse 19x8.5 +35 19x10 +35. Now I need some help on what tire size I should run. I might be running a small spacer in the front to get the rim flush. Im on bags so I would like to get the tire tucked into the fender. Could use any advice thanks!!

Looking at doing 19x9.5 all the way around. Looking at 235/35f and 245/35r. What offset should I have the wheels drilled at. I am on air and want to be able to fully air out without pulling the fenders.

You may want to revisit the rear rim width and offset. With a 10inch wide rim, the +35 offset isn't going to be enough for the tire to clear the fender...unless you plan on going stretched.

I see what you're trying to accomplish here...to have the same rims all around but a staggered tire.
Since the front wheel will have a smaller circumference than the rear, based on your tire sizes, I definitely wouldn't recommend this if your IS is AWD.
I probably still wouldn't recommend it if it was RWD...some of the onboard safety systems may not like it.
9.5 is a little much for the front unless you plan on doing some fender work.

Feeling that bronze...looking good. I notice the color coded trim around the wheel well...subtle.

so if I change to 8.5f and 9.5r what's the lowest offset I can get away with and also what size tire?
