or
Apex ARC-8 Front 19x8.5 ET35 with 235/35-19 // Rear: 19x9.5 ET33 with 265/30/19
The car is completely stock with no suspension modes and looking for primarily street use with light track usage nothing to aggressive.
Between the 2 options what you will be the best choice and what issues i might be facing in reference to:
1 rubbing
2 techo accuracy

Thanks for the message!
I think the tire size you mentioned is a bit narrow for the 18x9.5" ET22. 255/35-18 tires would probably be the better choice. Because of the aggressive offset of this setup, you will likely need to roll your rear fenders to make this setup work without rubbing. 245s may let you fit the rear wheels without rubbing but the tire would be over-stretched at that point.
A more direct 18" fitment would look like this:
Front: 18x8.5" ET35 or ET38 with 235/40-18 tires
Rear: 18x9.5" ET43 with 265/35-18 tires
245/40-18 front tires can be used.
275/35-18 rear tires may require rolled fenders and/or negative camber depending on ride height.
Your other option, the 19-inch setup looks like it should fit just fine. We typically recommend 18" wheels where possible for performance but in terms of fitment and speed sensor data you should be fine!
