Looking at this thread, it seems like most people running 19" VMRs are using the following:
(F) 19x8.5 ET35 | 225/35/19
(R) 19x9.5 ET45 | 255/30/19
The staggered OEM wheels are the following:
(F) 18x7.5 ET45 | 225/40/18
(R) 18x8.0 ET52 | 245/35/18
For the OEM wheels to reach the offset of the above VMR setup, wouldn't it be the same as adding a 22mm or 23mm spacer in the front and a 26mm spacer in the rear? That seems like quite a lot when many on this board are using spacers betwen 10mm - 15mm.

Yeh that's about correct. But with the OEM wheels, I was running 15mm spacers front and back and to me, that brought the wheels right to the edge without "poking". was very flush. Right now I'm running VMR 703 18's with 8.5F/ 9.5R and the front is just about flush fit and the rear is a very very slight "poke" which I attribute to the wider rubber not the wheel (see my pics on the previous page). This is with no spacers. I have my 15mm spacers chilling in a box now.
Bottom line, if you want a flush OEM look I recommend 15mm all round
