Question Offset fitment problem

Hey guys .. im running 18'' stocks on my rx8 .. just put lambo doors on it but its not complete without some bling bling...

I having some trouble with the fitting on my rims. I am looking for 19's (staggered). I was thinking 19x8.5 and 10. I was looking at the Zinik Sofi's Z21

Im not sure what offset to get. Right now after measuring my rims i get a tolerance of 15mm (F) and 25mm(R) to play with..

Basically i need a deep lip . .now i think these rims already have a deep lip so i may be able to go with 19x8.5 ..
Take a look and let me know what offsets you guys think will flow.. staggered or not..
Ebay have lots off different fittings

This is my take on it ( = added distance from stock in mm)

offset +35 +40 +45

19x8.5 = 21.5 16.25 11.25
19x9.5 = 34 29 24
19x10 = 40 35 30

Regards
Z

19x8.5 +35 (you can go lower)
19x9.5 +34 (may need to roll)
19x10 +40 or 35 (roll fenders)

Good question.. but im not really sure.. this is what the dude at wheelwarehouse said..

"Ok, when these wheels hit in November your going to be looking at 19x8 + 42 offset & 19x10 + 35 offset with both wheels having a 6 inch lip. "

It might be the way the wheels are made or something.. im still confused about the +35 offset.. i think it'll take the wheel 15mm futher out the fender

Reason for the offsets for 19x8 +42 is so that they can look flush with the rear as they are goin to be futher out.. acutaly im thinking of goin with 19x8 + 35 and 19x10 +40 .. i think this will do the trick.. might have to roll the fenders.. but thats ok
