Would I be able to use LE37T 19"x9.5 +22 at the rear?

Having a 22' on the rear would be a bad idea. check out the sticky about having a staggerd setup since it sounds like you want to go that route. If I were you I would just get the 19x9 for front and back.

It will fit in the general sense, but I would not recommend it unless you are going to modify the liner and fender lip. I have 9.5 @ 45mm offset and while it clears well when the wheels are pointing straight ahead the tire would be heavily into the fender lip when the suspension is seriously lowered/compressed and the wheel is turned substantially
Here is a pic of my 18 x 9.5 @ 45 with 265/35-18 Yokohama Advan Neova tire at full compression. When the wheel is at a tyical lowered ride height; approx. 26 " from the ground to the fender lip, the tires is about even with the fender lip. I have about 30mm more upward travel clearance than the OE and typical aftermarket shocks, but it will give you the idea. The SLA suspension has a lot of camber gain that pulls the top of the tire inboard as shown, but at this position I can't turn the wheel more than 15 deg before it slams into the lip. It would take some pretty stiff springs to keep it from rolling over and causing this. I'm installing 500# springs up front, but this would ride very rough for most people on the street.
