Talking 2015 is350 19" wheel specs plz help

Yo, I'm wondering if a 19x8.5 +30 and a 19x9.5 +40 staggered set will fit my 2015 IS350.
I also plan on running FRONT: 235/35/19 and REAR: 265/30/19s on these wheels.

Can I turn my dreams into a reality?
Any input/advice would be greatly appreciated.

225/35/19 and 255/30/19 work great but i in did not like the rear so
current 225/35/19 rear 255/35/19 the roads is better
235/35/19 front might rub when lock to lock
rear 265/30/19 rear should be ok

Consider the poster above's IS is likely RWD.
The tire sizes he quoted he is currently running (225/35 and 255/35) would make the rear tire 3 sizes larger than the front...which on an AWD will trigger an AWD warning message on the dash.
For AWD the goal is to keep the front and rear tire diameters as close as reasonable.

Thanks for your post, I was concerned about the front set up and why he was saying it was rubbing on the 235/35/19 on "full lock". Was wondering if he was lowered because as we discussed, I'm going 19x9 +30 on the 235/35/19 tires

I'm going to assume the vehicle is lowered, and the rubbing is usually in the front of the wheel right about middle of the fender liner.
My 20x8.5 +29 front wheels would do that...but once again, it's at full lock. Not sure how many times in a year I've ever had the steering at full lock, but probably less times than I can count on both hands...just saying.
Simple solution...heat gun and wet rag = reshape liner so tire doesn't touch (Tada!)
