best offset for 19x8.5 with 255/35/19 rubber

before i asked if a 255/35/19 tire would fit all the way around on the x. So i kinda got a answer for that. Here is my question now, what would be the best offset for this kind of setup. The thing is, I want my wheels to come pretty aligned with the fenders and am not sure what offset would be best. I appreciate all your help guys, Thanx!

+40 mm offset will ensure you don't rub the fender with the 255 tires. I have +38 with 245 tires and I'm just a few mm away from rubbing the fender.

No, 9.5 is too wide for the front. 8.5 is the max.

255 all the way around you would be the first most stick with a 245 in the front that's the widest you can go but I don't know for sure if a 255 on a 8.5 wheel would cause rubbing I would say you would have to get at least a +35 if not a +33 to make sure you are putting enough of the wheel away from the suspension components

A +33 offset would most definitely rub the fender with a 255 tire (and a 245 tire). Please stop giving out advice about offsets if you don't know what you're talking about.

Edited because I did not see your reference to suspension components.

My 19x8.5 with 245 up front has more than enough clearance to go wider. 38mm offset.

Mine doesn't. I would probably rub with 255 tires. Remember, different tires have different sidewall shapes.
