Another rookie Tire / Wheel question - please forgive me

Ok, I have been searching for a bit to find an answer, but I can't seem to make up my mind.

Where does the difference exist between 19x8.5 f / 19x9.5 r and 19x9.5 f / 19x10.5 r? I found pics from both setups and really can't seem to see any visible difference ( could just be the angles from the pics) ?

I will be buying 245/275/35 toyo t1r tires and hopefully 19" Volk GT-S for my '06 coupe.

Also, my future mods with be suspension ( 350z tein h tech / tokico dsp 9 ) and stoptech bbk ( I havent decided between the 13" or 14"). So what is the proper offset I should concentrate on if I want to plan for the future? Around +19 F and + 29 R?

thanks for any advice.

look closely at the sidewall stretch and you will be able to tell which wheel width they are using.

^ That's right. Those tires will work on either setup. The wider wheels will provide the stretched look that's so popular, and depending on the wheel design/offset, the wider wheels may also give you more lip.

yeah I looked at the images closely, but they still look almost identical due to the limitations of the pictures.
