The fronts will be a touch sunken, might require a 5-10mm spacer to get them flush. Rears will be pretty close to spot on. Will obviously depend on what size tire you want to run though.
Note that rim size and offset has nothing to do with camber. It's ride height that sets the camber.
I have done a mild role and run similar offsets and sizes and have just over a one finger gap and have had no rubbing issues.

ok, i need some help from the wheel guru's. i have 19x8.5-35mm fronts, and 19x9.5-55mm rears. the rears look completely horrible, so heres my plan.
will i be able to run the 19x9.5-55mm in the front with a 20mm spacer, to tecnically make it a 35mm offset? also, im going to buy new rear wheels that will be 19x10.5-35mm. for the fronts, i was thinking about a 235/35, and for the rears, a 275/35. would this stretch be ok? and i plan on rolling the fenders.

I have read 95 pages of this post and had 1 answer to my problem, but now i am wondering how did others get around this problem.
i have blitz 18x9 on 235/40/18 dunlop front and 18x10 on 265/40/18 dunlop rear (with spacer) at a +35 offset. Now i get rub when i have a packed car but other than that i love it. here is my problem:
i'm finally making this car a weekend car and i want to lower it more with the same wheel and tire fit (no more packed car), however i am noticing that it is rubbing against my wires in the wheel well. how did you guy resolve this issue? PLEASE HELP. nothing worse than having a nice car on the side of the road.

ya i know there is a lot of people on here running wider wheels with lower offsets then i have up front without vertex fenders. i think i will be good with the stock fenders.
but how about the tire size im thinking of using????

Please suggest tire sizes for these two options:
19x8.5 +20
19x10 +19
or
19x10+19 all around
I dont mind rolling and some camber. Would prefer to stay away from fender pulling.

well no one responded to my post.
maybe cause i was asking about 20" wheels.
i put on 20x8.5 up front and 20x9.5 out back, with 20 offset all around.
back wheels sat perfectly flush with fender,
and the fronts sat about an entire inch or so outside the fender wall.
looked terrible. You can go close to a 20 offset in the rear with a roll quite easy. in the front i don't think anything short of wider fenders will let you run a 20 offset on a 8.5+ wheel.
i think im gonna stick to +(25-30) in the back and +(30-35) in the front.
+20 in the front on stock fenders just plain sticks out too far.

Hey guys, I think i finally found the rims. They are a 19 x 9 and 19 x 10. Front is a +37 and rear is a +38. I ran the offset calculation and it says that it will essentially be:
Rear:
Inner clearance 26mm LESS
Outer Position 50mm More
Front:
Inner Clearance 12mm Less
Outer Clearance 38mm More
based on the stock wheels which I believe are 7 inches in width with a +50 mm offset.
My question is, will i get rubbing on the fronts while turning the steering wheel all the way to one side? Also how will these sit, decently flush? Im planning on running a 255 in the front and a 275 in the rear. Roll needed? As much info as possible would be greatly appreciated.

I bought some 18x8.5 38offset for the front and 18x9.5 45offset for the rears.
Anyone else think I can get away with 275/35/18 in the rear after a drop?
And I hear everyone mentioning it, what are staggered wheels?
