Cool STAGGERED 19" Wheel Offset / BBK Recommendations

I'm looking to cop a new set of Konig Rennform wheels on my 2017 LEXUS IS200T F SPORT.
Here are the specs I'm currently looking to get.. will it work?

Front: 19 x 8.5 +35mm
Rear: 19 x 9.5 +35mm

Can I stick to the same offset or should I go +45mm on the rear?

ALSO: Looking to get an RR Racing BBK set afterwards. Will there be any fitment issues with this setup?

Any tips/advice is much appreciated.

For the rear some have reported rubbing with the 9.5 +35.
Depends on a couple things though...is the vehicle lowered or stock height...what size of tire was used...and what brand of tire was used.
If you went with the +45 it would be a definite fit and you could always add a small spacer if you wanted to flush it out...like 5mm.

I just got of the phone with a tire shop and they recommended keeping the same wheel size but staggering the tire size.

IM STILL HELLA CONFUSED but here are the wheel specs / tire sizes I plan on running:

FRONT: 19x8.5 +43mm 235/35/19
REAR: 19x8.5 +43mm 265/30/19

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

that tire shop is telling you some weird **** lol. stick with 19x8.5 19x9.5 and do +35 up front +40 rear and you should be fine with the RR BBK, it really depends on how concave the wheels are with clearing the calipers. for instance with my forgestars i have to use extended studs in the rear because i have a deep concave in the rear semi deep in the front!

oh yeah i just looked up those wheels and you’ll be fine with the BBK! i’m running +30 front and +40 rear with the BBK and lowered on coils to give you an idea of what the offsets would kind of look like
