making the best of the situation? new paint / wheels advice LC818

So I was parked while my girlfriend was smoking and some guy was turning his van around, took it way too close and swiped my rear bumper and fender real nice.
Long story short I got a quote from infiniti and hes paying, I took the car to a different body shop and now my whole car is getting painted. Getting the trunk debadged along with mt. fiji and getting the holes filled in. The car should be out tomorrow so ill post some pictures.

Anyway I saw someone selling their Linea Corse lc818's on the canada forum and I loved them but cant find them anywhere else other than wheeldude and modbargain. I love the wheels and im definitely going to get them since I need new summer tires anyway.... so I'm looking for a tire/wheel combo which seems to be non existant...can anyone point me in the right direction?

Also if anyone could tell me what kind of wheel size to get, im thinking 19's but I don't really have any experience with offsets ans what not. Im looking for a flush fit and I got my fenders rolled, but the guy said he can only roll them 45 degrees if that makes a difference

Edit----- forgot to mention its a 06 sedan with stock suspension / brakes

I believe those are the only two places to get those wheels new. They are only offered in 19's and a good offset choice for you would be the +30 up front and +38 out back. However, personally I dislike aftermarket wheels on stock height cars... Just my opinion though. Since they are 8.5 and 10" wheel sizes I would probably run a 245/40 or 35 and 275/35

10" width with only a +38 offset might have too much poke for a stock suspension sedan.

^^FWIW I'm running +33 on a 19X9.5" rim and my wheels are perfectly flush with the fender. Fitment on a 10" with +38 would be virtually identical to mine.

Well I was looking for a wheel and tire combo right off the bat and these guys only do wheels. Are you sure this combo will work with the brakes and everything? I cant go too flush cause the fenders are only rolled half way

for reference, i'm running 19x9.5 ET29 (F) ET39 (R), 1.6" lower with no rubbing. I have some camber in the rear, not exactly sure how much though. brake clearance is more an effect of the style of the wheel as opposed to the width/offset,

that wheel style is very common. vmr also has a style that's similar to that (v710), and they provide wheel and tire packages.
