You probably should have done a bit more research beforehand. Buying wheels without knowing proper offsets FTL.

19x10 -20 / 19x11.5 -35

If that's not flush enough, you can add some spacers all around

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

The enkei website has 18x9.5 +27 and 18x10.5 +30

That is the best you can do with those wheels

Depends what look you're going for and what size tires you plan to run.

+27 front and +30 rear , and bump the front tire to a 275/35 for better handling. My car will be down there tomorrow, i have the same wheels on it.

Doubt the rear will work, actually doubt either will work with that much spacer. Just get the wheels and tires. Then space them where needed.
