For the rear those specs won't be close to the rear struts.
However, they will be outside the fender so you will having rubbing from the tire on the fender.

A 19x9.5 +38 will give you a pretty flush fitment on the rear.
For a 19x10.5 rim you would want an offset of +45 to clear the fender.

You can check out the wheel thread to see who has ran a 10.5 on the rear and the offsets they use.
