I don't know what the offset is of the wheels you want, but I can definitely tell you what will work. If you are doing a staggered fitment, the front tire should be a 265/35-22, and the rear a 295/30-22. The rear needs to be at least a 9.5" width, really should be a 10-10.5" for the tire to fit properly. I currently have 22x9 with a 40mm offset with a 265/35-22 tire all around and it fits perfect, never any rubbing, with 6 passengers and luggage. But I would suggest to get a 9'' with a 42mm or more up to 55mm is ok, rear the same or 10''-10.5'' with at least a 55mm-60mm(10.5). This fit will be right, no rubbing and no hanging out of the fender. (a professional setup).

As far as 1'' spacers?? I don't know why you would ever need that. Try at all cost to keep away from spacers on that car, unless you want the wheels to "hang out". The only whells with possible acceptable spacers are Lorinser, Brabus which use spacers as part of the wheel offset.

You should look into getting some rear camber arms as well to avoid uneven wear.
