19X8.5 + 35 will work up front as will +38. If i were you... id go with the more aggressive +35 setup up front.
For the rear
19X9.5 +35 will probably work... but thats a very aggressive setup for the rear. Do you have any higher offset options for the rear?

I'm not really sure what offset is i mean i've read all the definitions but still a little confused. the only way i could get higher offsets for the rear would be if i bought from 2 different party's aka lots more $$. and its going to be 19x8.5 f/r with +35. and maybe 245/35/19 Bf goodrich g-Force™ T/A® KDW any comments? if you see a better tire setup please tell me.

Well as opposed to 10 new threads everyday where these questions get asked... to just putting them all in one thread, people are going to ask regardless - so might as well have it placed in a more organized manner.
Yes, not all tire sizes between manufacturers are the same... but that is a risk that is taken when giving opinions on sizes. Also from the perspective of people who are asking or the many more people who are lurking... it gives them an idea of what range of tire and rim they can shoot for.
You have to realize, MANY MANY people dont know much about rim and tire sizes. I know a guy recently who tried to test fit an 18X9.5 -5 rim on his 8. He couldnt comprehend the idea that the Negative 5 offset wasnt going to work. At the same time... you have people trying to put 17" tires on 18" rims.
So yeah, these are not 100% accurate... but it does give the owner the best possible idea before purchasing. Would you rather they buy a tire and rim that had absolutely no chance to fit under any means possible regardless of the manufacturer?

haha!
sounds like something I might've ended up doing if it wasnt for theads like these and the help of fellow owners. I seriously learned ALOT just by reading and browsing through threads and posts.
thanks again for the info/advice...

they are both 18x8 but one is 45 offset one is 35.
im slammed on jics and when i get it corner ballanced i will prob raise a 1/4 inch more...i want whatever firts the best with out modifying that will look good, hopefully closer to the fender.
225/40/18?

Got them for pretty cheap through EdgeRacing.com's annual WTF sale... Prices have gone up for the 18x8.5's since...
Car is stock height for now... The rims are just photo-chopped onto the car in my sig for now, but I made them the same pixel size as the stock 18's so it's about as good of representation as I could do lol...

Dead Thread?
If anyone is still out there im looking now at some O.Z. Ultralegerras in 9 inch i need help on wheel width and offset though. I dont want to go staggered, but i want either 265's or 255's, and planning on lowering my car in the future. As far as offsets, i was thinking around 35-40, but i dont like the look of the stock rear wheels being so far tucked back into the fenders. Any suggestions? Thanks...
So its 19x9
265 or 255/35 to 40/18
