Default Questions about Rim Offset on 3rd gen is 250

Hello, I am getting a good price on some vossen CV3-R 19's. I want to know if they will fit my car without having to get anything extra.
I have a 2014 lexus is 250 Awd
The wheels are
19"
5 x 114.3
hub 73.1
offset : 32
Also what tire size should fit these best?

19X8.5 +32

If you are putting the same size all around, which I would recommend, here are two options:
225/35/19
235/35/19

The +32 offset will push the wheels out pretty close to the fenders. To maximize clearance, I would probably go with the 225/35/19.
If the offset was +35, then you would be fine with the 235/35/19.

Yes I will be putting the same size all around.
As long as the wheels can fit with no rubbing issues it's fine with me. I am getting a really good price from someone that got some replacements from vossen but never used them so can't really get done with a 35" offset

Then you'll be ok. you could even look at the 235/35/19 if you're not going to lower it.

I'm running 18x8.5 +35 with 245/40-18 Michelin PSS and only had a slight rubbing in the front, on the inner wheel well.
