It depends, are you planning on dropping your car? If so by how much? I sure hope so.
On our cars, I really think you shouldn't try anything more than 8" wide wheels.
With that wide of a wheel, you should try not to get anything lower than +45 offset to make it look nice w/o it sticking out past the fender like an SUV. That would be the limit, a +48 or above is better for 19x8" wheels.
The CL-S has more clearence than the TL/S.
If you can, try and find a 7.5 wide wheel to minimize the possibility of a great amount of rubbing. You will have an easier time making it fit and if there are lower offsets than +45 only available.

This should help a little bit.
Our stock offset is +55 and stock rim is 7 in

this one is to make sure your speedo is still ok
235/35 19 is perfect to replace our stock tires

If you drop the car a bit, the +45 offset with 235 rubber could be a problem; there is a possibility of rubbing on the rear fender lip if lowered.
In a 19x8, the +50-+52 offset seems to work well with 2" lowering.
If you're talking about a non-lowered car, then +45 will work with 7" to 8" wide wheels.
The offset, wheel width, wheel and tire diameter, and tire profile and size, along with drop, bump stop changes and/or shocks can all make a difference between a setup that works without rubbing and/or one that will drive you crazy...

ok now so i emliminated the zenetti mystik in 19 and 18 cause the width is 8 for the 18 and 8.5 for the 19. i found another brand (diablo) that makes a wheel (burgini) in the same style but it is in 17, 18, and 20 only and NO 19 
so here's the situation, 18x7.5 with no drop. ideally i dont want any scuffing if possible, would it scuff? im still looking for what available offsets they have.
