i know that this involves changing your whole plan of what you want to go with, but honestly, don't buy wheels based on your existing tires. all that does is limit your choices, and then in a few thousand miles when your OEM tires wear out, you'll be left with wheels that you don't necessarily like that much and only got so that they would fit tires you don't even have anymore. on one set of wheels you'll go through many sets of tires if you have them for a long time, don't base your wheels on the tires you just happen to have at the time.

The most popular offsets people seem to be running on our cars with 9.5/10.5 f/r wheels are +22 up front and a +12 in the rear. Now, if you want that same outer stance (how flush the wheel is to the fender) here they are

All of these FRONT setups have the same outer stance:
9.5"+22mm
9.0"+19mm
8.5"+12mm
8.0"+6mm

all of these REAR setups have the same outer stance
10.5" +12mm
10" +6mm
9.5" -1mm
9.0" -7mm

so pick your offset based on the width you end up going with.
