Stock Rays wheels are 19x9 +47 front and 19x10 +30 rear. If you want aftermarket 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear to fit EXACTLY the same as stock, you need +53 mm offset front and +36 mm rear. I wouldn't recommend this for two main reasons:
1) you may have caliper clearance issues, depending on the spoke design, so if you can get a template from the wheel manufacturer to measure first to see if they will clear your setup before you buy (This is as simple as downloading a PDF file that gives the cross section shape of the wheel, print and cut it out, and then place it against the hub assembly to see if the brakes clear).
2) Most people don't like the somewhat "tucked" look and run 15/20 mm front and 20/25 mm rear spacers...that depends on how close to fender edge you want.

Most people will run 9.5 width +22 front and 10.5 width +12 rear (in either a 19 or 20" wheel) and that will get you fairly flush to the fenders if the car is slightly lowered. Other factors will play into it too...eg whether or not you're lowered, tire width, and negative camber you want to run. Some people want to push the "flush" envelope have gone with more aggressive offsets.
