Having a 22' on the rear would be a bad idea. check out the sticky about having a staggerd setup since it sounds like you want to go that route. If I were you I would just get the 19x9 for front and back.

9.5 and even 10.0 will fit all around, just not with that offset

19x9.5 will fit in the front but probabyly only with a +30 or +34. You could do a +22 in the front but expect your tread to wear out within a few months.

It will fit in the general sense, but I would not recommend it unless you are going to modify the liner and fender lip. I have 9.5 @ 45mm offset and while it clears well when the wheels are pointing straight ahead the tire would be heavily into the fender lip when the suspension is seriously lowered/compressed and the wheel is turned substantially

Here is a pic of my 18 x 9.5 @ 45 with 265/35-18 Yokohama Advan Neova tire at full compression. When the wheel is at a tyical lowered ride height; approx. 26 " from the ground to the fender lip, the tires is about even with the fender lip. I have about 30mm more upward travel clearance than the OE and typical aftermarket shocks, but it will give you the idea. The SLA suspension has a lot of camber gain that pulls the top of the tire inboard as shown, but at this position I can't turn the wheel more than 15 deg before it slams into the lip. It would take some pretty stiff springs to keep it from rolling over and causing this. I'm installing 500# springs up front, but this would ride very rough for most people on the street.

anything will fit if you're going to modify the fenders and run narrow tires for the width, but your front wheels will hit the fender lip still with enough compression while turned
