Can somebody help me?
I'm ready to purchase my wheel/tires and i'm pretty much set on enkie rpf1's.
i'm thinking of 19x10 +22 in the rear and 18x8.5 +30 up front. Or do you reccommend 19x8.5 + 22mm? Will the rear wheels concave with that offset like a staggered setup?

9.5" rear, 8" front, +40mm front and +35 rear...
I run fairly wide tires and the rears are rolled - the fronts are within a mm of the fender (not modified) Click on my signature for a larger picture... I run quite a bit of negative camber, -2.1ish front, -2.7 rear, which does give me more clearance in the rear (I could go an inch wider in the rear without issues), but in the front, again, I'd have to actually roll the fenders, which I have not done yet...

If I were you, I would run the 19x8.5 +22 on a 235/35/19. The 18" front you have tagged is a bit conservative in offset considering the aggressiveness of the rear wheel that you have picked.

Since you have chosen a lightweight wheel, I would keep an eye on a lightweight tire as well. Continental and Michelin tend to be the lightest. But, if you do vary to a heavier tire, make certain it is enough of a better performer to justify the jump as you are spending good money on lightweight race-inspired wheels.
I would try and stay within a pound or two of the lightest tire in each class as tire weight influences the rotational inertia of a wheel moreso than wheel weight by virtue of being farther away from the center of rotation. A 1 lb swing in tire weight has as much influence on rotational inertia as a 3 lb swing in wheel weight. Keep that in mind.

This is 245/35 on 19x10+21(front) so yours is 5mm less aggressive so 235/35 would be good.Good luck

if you can't pull the stock qp more than 15mm, then i'd suggest getting the daizen camber kit and aligning with as much neg. camber plus the -2 degrees, then go with 275 30 18 or 265 30 18 if you can find it and bring the car as low as it can go, you'd probably get away with it on 18x12 +6 but probably not on 19x12+6

19x8.5 (f) 19x9.5 (r) +35. with a Espelir/Tokico set up
I purchased wheels that are 19x8.5 (front) 19x9.5 (rear). Both wheels are +35 all around. I decided to go with the Espelir/Tokico set up.
I know that I'm gonna have to roll and/or shave the fenders. I would just like some input on tire sizes. that wont rub too much but will stil give a nice ride.
thanks
