Default did extensive rim studying..but still need some last minute help. 19x9.5 [more inside]...

ok so i have an 04 BB 1.8tqm and i need help picking rim sizes. ive done an extensive search and read up as much as i could but i still have some questions

for front im gunna go with 19x8.5 with 235/35/19 no doubt cuz there seems to be no problem with that.
1. what offset would i run at? 35?

for rear im debating about either going with 9.0 or 9.5. thats where i hit my snag. seems to me that with quattro, fitting 9.5s might be a problem.
well successful fitting of 19x9.5 and no rubbage seems to run fine with 265/30/19 so im probably gunna go with that with offset 42...unless instructed otherwise by you guys. hahah.
2. does this sound right to you guys? i dont want to roll my fender in, and if it really is that much trouble i guess ill just go with 19x9. but id preferably go with 9.5's.

ANY input would help a lot. personal experiences? anyone running 19x9.5s PLEASE post ur tire size and offset for front AND rear. especially rear. im still doin my research but i need as much help as i can. thanks!

go with 8.5 in front and 9 in the rear, 9.5 will create some hardcore rubbing

I don't understand why you would use a wider rear rim on Quattro...

Your car is going to handle terribly when you're done (lots of understeer!)

With quattro keep all four the same. It's not a Chevy Nova rear drive stocker.
