Do you have the Brembo brakes? If no Brembos, offsets from +22 to +30mm usually will fit. More complicated if you have the Brembos and often depends on wheel design.

Re: Getting 19 inch wheels, need help URGENTLY

How do you want your car to behave when you're done, or do you care? Changing the widths of the tires from stock will alter how it performs. You should know how you want it to behave before you decide on the widths. 8.5 f 9.5 r will cause more understeer, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if this is important to you, think it through first. Then decide.

Here's a good link that will help you with the implications of your decision.
