Help with wheel size and offset.

So I have been thinking about new wheels for my car. I really like the forgeline DE3P with the matte black center and gloss black lip. Im thinking I would want 19" wheels. But what offset and what width? they say this: The DE3P is available in sizes from 18x7.5 to 20x15 and each wheel is built to order so they can make it custom offsets.

I have stock suspension right now, and I dont think ill ever lower my car, if I do it will be very little. So what width and offset would be best for these wheels if I was to go 19".

Also does anyone have pictures of these wheels on a TL?

Thanks,
Brandon

also my car is a 08 type S with factory brembo brakes and a 6 speed transmission. I do not want to have to roll the fenders, and I would prefer to not use spacers. I just want to be sure that they wont rub any.

beautiful wheels, you should def lower it! your car will look too high on 19's without a drop.

Do you want staggered or same size all around?

I was thinking same size all around. I know with my past cars (American cars) I would go bigger in the back, like 19s in the back and 18s up front. With this being fwd im thinking just 19s all the way around. Ive seen a few different widths and offsets of 19s that people have put on, but im trying to find what the general consensus is for the best width and offset that wont rub and where i wont have to have spacers/longer studs, and roll the fenders.
