Default IS350 19" fitment questions

I have an IS350 lowered on F-Sport springs and I'm about to pull the trigger on some new rims/tires.

I'm looking for a nice flush setup with no rubbing, but the whole tire size picking thing baffles me.

Front: 19" x 8" +35 in 235/35/19
Rear: 19" x 9.5" +45 in 265/30/19

Will these offsets fit properly and work with those tires?

should be fine... but theres no such thing in my book about being FLUSH and without RUBBING without fender mod.

If you want to be flush offsets have to be in the 20's i believe

ok, I just don't want it to look too tucked or have huge gaps.

also, how can I tell if I will need spacers?

NO NO NO NO NO.

if you must use 19x8 and 19x9.5 and those tires, then get

19x8 +30 with 235/35/19
19x9.5 +35 with 265/30/19

but you're open to all sizes and want to use fat rubber use

19x8.5 +30 with 245/35/19
19x9.5 +30 with 275/30/19

and if you want to very aggressive with not-so-fat rubber, then use

19x8.5 +20 with 225/35/19
19x9.5 +250with 245/35/19

The thing is the wheels I'm looking at are only available in 19x8 +35 or +45 and 19x9.5 +25 or +45 but I have no idea which would fit best and what tires to use.

Could I do 19x8 +35 in front with 245/35/19's? Will these clear my brakes?

get the 8 +35 fronts and 9.5 +25 rears. run tires sizes 225/35/19 and 235/35/19. you should be ok with that. and if your brakes don't clear, then just add a 5mm spacer and you should be fine.
