Advice needed

planning on changing my set up soon been looking at some new square set ups and wanted your input on how a 19x10.5 +18 all around would fit.

i m worried about it being too aggressive and it will poke too much...

It might. I am not sure, but cant you test fit it on the G before you buy them?

that's really aggressive, I would have to imagine that would poke. I've never seen a 10.5 on the front but with that low offset I don't see how it would fit w/out some issues. Are you gonna run some really stretched tires?

Why would you want a 10.5 on the front?

With enough camber and/or tire stretch, you can probably fit it. Compared to my set-up when i had 5mm spacers all-around, this would give you 2mm more inside clearance, but will also stick out by a little over an inch.

I have a relatively mild drop and slightly out-of-spec camber, and the wheels look decently flush to me. Were it not for the slightly narrower tires, they fit perfectly IMHO. The only issue i had was the inside lip of the driver side wheel rubbing against the protruding portion of the Eibach sways at full right-turn lock.

WOW, that is going to be one really aggressive (and HOT) set up if you end up pulling this off. You are going to have to run some massive negative camber, your car is probably going to be slammed, and you're going to have to run some really stretched tires. I think you can do this, however, there are going to be sacrifices that have to be made to run wheels of those specs.

As far as I know heyitsalex did a 10.5 +24? offset in the rear with 245/40/19 IIRC but thats the most aggressive offset and width i've seen.

Maybe send someone money to test fit it for you.
