Default LS400 19 in rims question

I'm looking at buying a set of 19 inch staggered rims for my 1991 LS. They are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. Tires probably 235/35 and 275/30. My question is........is this a good setup without any fender problems or rubbing. No air suspension and Just started my project. Thanks in advance.

If you're planning to lower your car in the future, I'd suggest going with a lower width tire in the rear (maybe 265?) just to be safe.

BR1AN........thanks! New to the LS arena and wasn't sure. I am trying to stay away from the shaving or altering thing. I was just hoping the 19x9.5 would fit in the back.

What are the offset for both rims? Just to let you know you can fit 245's on those front 8.5's without a problem, i have 19x8.5's all around with 245's.
