Too aggressive?

19"x8.5" ET20 front
16mm more inner clearance
28mm extend more
I think they would stick out too far.

19"x9.5" ET20 Rear
4mm more inner clearance
16mm extend more

255/35/19 front, increase circumference from 81.58 to 81.74.

275/35/19 rear, increase circumference from 81.77 to 83.47.
Probably too big.

Rear isn't as much as issue as front. The offset is way to aggressive, most I'd go to avoid a major negative impact on handling, is ET32 (and then run camber washers and a lot of negative camber up front).

Basically changing offset affects scrub radius (suspension geometry). Stock offset is 42 front, and the lower you go the more it moves the scrub radius into positive from stock (negative). That's a really bad idea with a McStrut suspension, as in poor and unpredictable handing.

Hack explains it much better than I can in this thread on exactly the same topic and offsets.

I think its possible with rolled fenders, BUT definitely not with those wide tires. You'd need something with a mild stretch
