offset!!!
OK I really have a problem understanding offset. If I get 19"x8.5" rims with a 38 offset in the front and 28 in the rear, then slap some coilovers onto the ride will I rub???

You'd be better off getting 4 of the same wheels and using spacers in the rear...
If you just want a staggered look, go with spacers or else you won't be able to rotate your tires without remounting them every time.
Also, here's an explanation of offset and an offset calculator to give you an idea how it works...

To use the calculator, use a 7.5" wheel with a 45mm offset for the stock numbers. Then plug in your wheel dimensions to see the effects.
