the wheels are 19x9.5 12mm offset and i dont know about the tires yet. My concern is that the offset will make the wheel poke out further then the fender.

This is like pushing 52mm outer than factory.....Its most likely that you will need some fender modifications

There was a former SC430 owner with 19x9.5 +22mm all around with 255-35-19 .... I believe he also rolled the fender

Front will stick out about an inch, rear half.

I'm running 9.5 40ish offset and I'm 10mm from sticking out in the front, 12 is 18mm further out.

i have tires 245/40/18 and use 19mm spacers on all 4. i've been told 15mm is the most you can go. i think 12mm spacers maybe to much 15mm cutting edge what i was told.

so what im getting is 19x9.5 +12mm offset is too much and will stick out. What about 19x9.5 +22mm offset, flush with the finder or will they stick out too?

i run 19mm spacers on front and back, tires are 245/40/18 tires are 8" front and 9" rear and i feel its perfect. .i think to be safe 100% 25mm i went with 19mm because i new 15mm was max. for my tires and rims

How is the front and back both flush with the same offset and widths? Factory rims are same offset and widths and every sc430 needs at least a 20mm spacer in the rear to match the front.
