Default 19x11 Fitment Issues

i plan to get the AZA Z-1 wheels and have the 2 front rims (19x8.5) widened to 11" for the back and take the rear rims (19x9.5) and stick them up front. i have a 2002 ws6 (black) with stock suspension. it says that the lip can be anywhere from 2.5" to 4" on these rims. i'd like to avoid hammering and grinding if possible.

if i were to get a bigger lip and widen the rim, how hard would it be fitting them?

is the 'lip size' the same as 'offset'?

would i still need spacers?

would i still have to hammer in the wheel well and do a little grinding regardless?

i might lower the car in the future but unsure yet. i'm sure that would need some work to get them to fit then. thanks in advance for the help.

do you know the offset of the wheels?

If you go with 19x11 plan on some fender rolling and BFH

i thought that if i get a bigger lip on the rim, that would pull the rim away from the wheel well because the spokes would be closer to the middle of the rim. is that right?
