2018 Platinum wheel upgrade

Hello, new to the forum here! I recently purchased a 2018 Platinum (3rd Maxima I've owned) and the car is in beautiful shape, except for the wheels. Stock wheels have some curb marks and the car looks to be begging for larger wheels anyway, so they are on their way out. After some looking and research, I believe I will be going with 19 inch since my car is a daily driver and I sometimes drive it on work road trips.
So my questions are what are some advantages or disadvantages of some of the combo's I'm looking at. Is there any reason to go to a 9.5 width? I will most likely also be adding lowering springs in the future. So here is what I'm looking at:
19x8.5 +35 offset with 245/35 tires
19x8.5 +35 offset with 245/40 tires
this also come in a +43 offset (what difference will that make?)
19x9.5 +40 offset with same tire combos above.

Thanks for any advice, help before I drop some dough on a package.

I honestly like the look and style of the 19in wheels that the SR comes with but ultimately its going to be upon you
