If you use different width or offset, you potentially change the ride (quality & performance). It can be better or worse (often better). Aggressive offsets put more torque on parts, making them to break more easily (e.g. make the whole wheel to break apart in accidents).

wheels are built individually of the car, and it is up to the wheel manufacturer to ensure that the offsets and widths of the wheels they build are safe... if they can't make them safe in the correct widths and offsets, then they shouldn't build the wheel - this is entirely independent of the vehicle...
however, wheels that stick out further from the center line of the car will put more stress on things like wheel bearings and bushings...

I am looking for a deep dish all the way round on my sc, i know 19x8.5 fits but my friend has been telling me to try those 19x9.5 in the front that they wont rub.On a 19" wheel how deep can the offset be for the front? and on the back can 19x10.5 work?

19x9.5(F) with +50mm offset means wheels will be 1" more out to the front fender.
19x10.5(R) with +50mm offset means wheels will be 1.5" more out to the rear fender.
If you use lower offset, for each of -6mm, you just add a quarter of an inch to the number above. For example, if you use 44mm offset for the rear, 19x10.5(R) with +44mm offset means wheels will be 1.75" more out to the rear fender. I guess
19x9.5+50mm or 19x9+44mm or 19x8.5+38mm (F)
19x10.5+50mm or 19x10+44mm or 19x9.5+38mm (R)
Someone can give you better idea whether wheels with those numbers will flush the fenders (it depends on the tires you use too).
