Yes, what you are asking would work. You could space it out in the rear a good amount if wanted, I've seen 9.5 +35 fit with a 235 and lots of fender work. I want to see pictures of the non-staggered 19x9.5 setup, love the look of them in 19's.

Man you should be able to pull of a 255 with a offset like that. I run a 235/35 on my 19x8 +35s and I have only a very minor roll and a slightly trimmed fender liner in the front. Don't let them fool you about 19's being performance killers either. I run the mountains with lots of guy's with 17's and I have no trouble whatsoever. Get yourself a stronger front swaybar for that nonstaggered setup and it'll handle with the best of them. No need to stretch on those dinky tires either, get yourself some real rubber for those offsets. 245 at a minimum.

You can fit 255 no problem.

I run 255's on the same offset (but narrower rim, which doesn't matter too much unless you're slammed)

19's are performance killers; if you can keep up then the guys in front of you are slow

Agreed, go with the 255s. I would also encourage going with a smaller diameter wheel. Those 19s are going to be *heavy*.

Professor sp1's aren't that heavy, even in 19's they weigh as much as many popular "knock off" 18" wheels. The OP already stated its just used as a point A to B car and for that wheel weight wont matter much. I agree that 255's would fit however if he's trying to achieve a certain look and less fender work the other tire sizes he mentioned will also work. Only problem with 19's IMO is tire price and selection, they look fantastic on very low s2000's.

That fronts are 23lbs and the rears are about 26.5lbs. Both are about 6lbs heavier than stock, which is going to be noticeable. Regardless, if you are just after looks it won't matter too much.

You have to factor in the weight of the tire and wheel mounted as well, as he said though and you stated for a daily driver you'll likely never notice anything.
