I Read wheels post, but still need help

I checked out the various posts as well as the looong wheels and tires post. i didnt find this combo, so i am going to have to ask for help.
here's some specs:
19x8.5,bolt pattern 5x112 with a 42 offset

First thing thats important is finding out if the rims will even fit. I have a HR Sport OE drop, so it shouldnt be too bad, i hope.
i saw the abp tls with the 20X8.5 but i am still unsure.
Anybody can tell me if these rims will fit and what is the widest tire size i can throw on them, f/r.

Wrong bolt pattern. You need 5x114.3. They won't fit on the stock wheel studs. Next.....

20x8.5 will not fit. 8.5 is too wide for our car. Even with a +55 offset they will rub on the suspension arms.

The widest for 18s or 19s is 18x8 +48 to +52 Anything less and it will rub on the fender, anything more and it will rub on the suspension arms.

I agree for the most part NSXNEXT, but I have seen a TLS with Maido LS1 20X8.5. He must've modified to fit somehow??

he said he had spring stoppers, and it would prevent the wheels from rubbing unless he would hit a deep dip. my guess is that he got the springs to Stop at a certain point before rubbing begins. the only bad thing from that is the shock is probably taking alot of the hit, and so is the entire car.

Yes you are. With that set up, even driving straight will rub.
