This is the inside of the wheels. I think you're right, i'm going to use the 20mm in front and 15mm in the back with 235/35/19 in front, 255/30/19 in the rear. I will post results once I order the spacers. The HnR's spacers. Thanks for your help man.

Back again after spending hours browsing and asking the community for wheel help I've finally decided to go with TE37SLs (pressed graphite w/ red sticker for those curious) with the following specs
F: 18x9 +45 (Will be using a small spacer)
R: 18x9.5 +40
Yes I am set on those wheels and unfortunately Volk did not make good sizes for our cars. Initially I was going to grab RSR Half Downs and be done with wheels forever, but a lower car does look nicer so I'm considering RSR Downs. I have a handful of possible combinations that I'll list out for better clarity.
1) RSR Half Downs with 235/265 tires
2) RSR Downs with unknown tire sizes
3) RSR Downs with 235/265 tires + fender rolling
I'm fairly certain 1 and 3 will work without any trouble, but my preference is option 2. My order of preference is 2 1 3
I have a few questions regarding option 2. Take into account that I do take a full car with people and stuff a decent amount which is why rubbing is such a concern to me.
2015 IS 250 F-Sport if that's needed.
Q1) If I go RSR downs what tire size would work with minimal rubbing? Does that mean I need to stretch tires because I prefer beefier tires
Q1) Do those with RSR Downs on 18s clear the parking curb stops or no? I usually back into spots, but a lot of other places I frequent have the stupid diagonal parking for brain dead people
I really appreciate all the help this forum has provided and continues to provide. You guys are the best

A 265/30/18 would be good for the rear, unfortunately I haven't come across one that exists yet. It's either 255/30 or 265/35...and the latter may be two big if you're carrying people and stuff.
For fender rolling, the rear is already factory rolled, so you won't get anything out of it...the front you can get a little, but with those wheel and tire specs you won't need it.
You might even be able to fit some 10mm spacers on the front.

Anyone want to help me confirm this setup would work or which would be a better fitment. Konig Ampliform 19"x8.5f +30 or +45, 9.5r +35 on Firestone Indy 500 225/35/19 and 255/35/19. 2015 IS350 F sport lowered on Swift springs so just a mild drop.

The rear 19x9.5 +35 would be little bit of an issue. With 9.5 on the rear you'd be looking for at least a +38, but ideally a +42 would clear everything without any chances of rubbing.
The 255/35/19 tire would be a little tall too...you'd want a 255/30/19.
You might find with passengers/cargo and over big enough bumps the rear might rub on the fender.
Maybe if you got a set of Hankook Ventus V12's you might just make it...but's it's a crap shoot since you're right near the borderline of fitment.
