robert, time to go aggressive.
i would recommend a 10mm in the front. +14 in the front is a breeze
i would recommend a 10mm in the rear. +26 should not a be a problem.
right now im at +15 in the front on a 9.5" 245/35/19 with room to spare, almost wish i would have gone to +10.
as for the rear.. i will be at +4 on a 10.5" 275/35/19 with rolled fenders.
get the project kics from www.evasivemotorsports.com they the 10mm's in stock and dont forget to order the hub rings with them.

looks wise if you want to use my car for reference (since I dont know what size tires you have)
I have 19x9 +18 up front with a 265/30/19, and 19x10 +14 with 285/30/19 - rolled rear fenders. Looks absolutely perfect to me. Nice and flush, does not sit out past the body of the car (not a fan of how that looks), and you don't have this huge amount of tire sticking out at the bottom of the rear bumper skirt, where it wraps under the car (hate how that looks too)

Rob, I know these are not your wheels, but for my wheels, I had to run 5 mm up front and nothing in the rear. The rear ST-22's are pretty small; I'd be suprised if your wheels don't clear them. Obviously this isn't much help for your specific situation.
As for spacers, I recommend going with HKS hub centric, the slip over your wheel studs. Get the ARP wheel studs (www.splparts.com) that are 10 mm longer. There are treated for extra strength, and are very easy to replace the front wheel studs with. The rears aren't quite as easy, but still not hard, you just have to do some fiddling with the e-brake assembly, but it's pretty easy. Anyways, I have had these on the track multiple times now, and no problems at all.

Playing with this wheel calculator (Link) and using the OEM wheel/tire specs (18x8 +30 & 245/45) and my current wheel/tire specs (19x11 +36 & 285/35) is shows that my wheel "...is 26 mm (1'') closer to suspension/brakes components."

Can someone help me out im running a tire size of 275/35 in the rear and 245/35 in the front.
Also my rim size is 19x9.5 in the rear and 19x8.5in the front with an offset of +35.
Should i run 20mm spacers all around or 15mm. What do you guys think? I also plan on a drop.
And i dont want the tires to be sticking out, i just want them to sit flush.
Thanks.

I actually bought my spacers from someone off this site, but there are a couple of places that sell good quality spacers. Performance Nissan does, as well as many of the vendors on here.

Nah. I retract my previous recommendation. I say go with 20mm or maybe even 25mm spacers. I read too fast to notice the +35 offset. My bad.
