Would be nice if you could find the offset. Otherwise I doubt anyone can give you any useful advice. Offset has everything to do with fitment especially when you go with 19's or 20's.

19x8.5 fronts +17 or +30
19x10.5 rears +22 or +40
which would be the best combination for my situation?
thanks!

Hope someone else chimes in with brand, although I believe in the first post the OP lists some good brands for stretching if I remember correctly.

Not sure what type of tire you want to go with as far as brand and model but here are some pics I found quick on a 9.5 to give you an idea

I know someone out there has a red SC3 with Blk is250 wheels, but I've yet to find a pic!?!?!
Can some post a link or pics up for me, just got a deal with a set and going to powder coat them but thinking or GMG ( gun metal grey) or BLK (black), JT had told me to get it wet black, just looking to add to the advice and see some pics if possible thanks
Here's a pic of them just in case

Sorry for the late reply bud, didn't notice this.
+30 on the fronts and +40 would be optimal for your situation, but even then you might need to roll the rear fenders because of the 10.5. Although you will get a much more aggressive fitment with +17 and +22, but all four fenders would need to be rolled. Check around this thread, maybe someone is running similar specs as you plan to.

Those would look pretty sweet. A nice and simple way to upgrade the stock wheels. I wouldn't paint them at all if they're in rashless condition. Otherwise I'd probably go with gun metal gray, I think red on black wheels is a bit overrated and overused. Just my opinion.

20 inch wheels from xix and what offset to run
so i have a 99 sc300 ......was gonna go with 18 or 19 inch rims but decided to go with 20's.
Now mind that the rim manufacturer XIX only makes wheels in 20 and up sizes....i know i can get away with 20 x 9 in the front but i have heard the i can can go as wide as 20 x 10.5 in the back......i used to install rims on cars but havnt done alot of staggerd wheel set ups.......so what should i run front and back as far as offsets in the front and back and width in the back ......i want a clean look ,.....i live in new orleans as it is ...there are ppl that do run negative camber and slammed cars out here but i only want to lower it just over an inch .............any help would be greatly appreciatted.

I have similar questions as you. I'm fairly experienced with 18's, some 19's. But I got some 20's and I'm looking for some advice as well.
