I am pretty sure a 19x9 et 46 hits the strut.
I know Bentley wheels are 19x9 et41 which is about the most you can go on a front. At et45 you might need a 5mm spacer.

correct, 9's on the rear will leave you a little room for some camber, not sure on fronts - assuming your running a 35 profile tyre?
