Welcome! Where in CA are you?

19x9.5 19x10.5 ~+20 should fit nice. Depends how low you will be, how much fender modding you want to do, and your tire sizes.

Fairly certain if you run the 275 you'll have to roll or cut the rear fenders as I did on my GS....I had to raise the butt of my car back up so they would stop rubbing. But just changed wheels to 19x8.5" and 19x9.5" and they are all +35...lowered her back down here it should be and drove about 300 miles roundtrip up north with no issues. And tire size is 235/35 front and 265/30 rear...but y ou can run 245 in front. Took me about a month to figure what was the right setup to get after having my 20's that pissed me off so....

Fat lips and high offsets dont go together like 2 boys in a bed. Dont sweat the fender issues its not that hard. Drop the 275 unless you planning evading the cops. 255/30 on that 10 will do-I run it on my 10.5 hellaflush. 245 up front if I may is too much meat also. A 225 on that 8.5 is enough-Welcome to CL
