Specific example question:
Volk TE37SL 18 x 9.5, 265/35/18 Hankook R-S3
Coilovers with adjustable mounts
What's the highest offset I can run without interference from the inner suspension. What's the lowest offset I can run to not have the tire stick out more than 1/2" from the fender?

A variable that was not specified was suspension and camber. Both of which play a large roll in making this work. Simply inquiring a general quesiton such as "WHAT OFFSET WORKS" without giving any more specifics is like asking "I HAVE A BIG DICK, HOW MANY CHICKS CAN I ****??"
Fact of the matter is the table you're basically requesting would extremely tedious to create considering NONE of us are PAID TO DO **** HERE. Most of the people who understand the fitment of the rx8 realize that with the several options of suspensions (as well as the variation of spring setups) that are out there - there are a lot of other factors to consider.
FACT OF THE MATTER IS THIS....
No on ride height, actual tire width or fender mods (assumes stock fenders, like most people have), but it's damn better than what we have here which is......some stickys somewhere and nothing concrete which is centralized.
Take a look, it's not bad as a general rule of thumb or to give you an idea of what you're working with.

...here's an idea - how about you do the same amount of research all of us did to understand something that no one spoon fed us.
I have come close to creating a full table of specifications that can work for the rx8 but there are simply too many variables to consider that can alter any given answer.
NOTHING IS CONCRETE - if you have the money, resources, skill and patience - you can MAKE IT FIT.

-1.5 to -1.2 on all wheels
Let's say one inch down from stock all around
There are restrictions with what I can do to make it fit, regardless of how much money, resources, skill or patience that I have.
From what I've gathered so far, +30 looks like it might work. I'm estimating the range for 9.5" wheels at +40 to +30, but I'm probably way off.
So you want me to duplicate the effort that a community has already done because......you don't want to give me a general idea based on what you've seen?
I don't understand how me knowing a general rule of thumb would affect you in anyway. It's not like I'm going to take the exact number you give me, attempt it, and come back here crying saying it didn't fit. I'm probably going to start with the highest offset of the range and use spacers if it doesn't clear the inside.
Even a link to the sticky would've been nice. It would've taken someone who knew 10 seconds to post it and would've saved me the requisite 1-2 minutes to find it. If everyone thought they couldn't be bothered to post that link, then that says something about the population here.
Anyway, all you want to do is complain about me asking questions when the only semi-helpful response is look in a sticky, that's fine. It just makes you, as a representative of the experienced members, come across as negative and petty, which from what I've seen in the ECU and FI forums, is par for the course.
The fact that you bring up that no one paid you to do anything says a bunch. No one pays me to mod a forum either. I do it out of support and to benefit the TOTAL community.

There is a great deal of research already done by forum members here but if you wish to have this information spoon fed to you here is something to consider.

^this is all we have. Shitty i know...but what are you going to do about it other than complain??

Meah, just get a good set of 19x9.5 +35 all around. Mount some 255s and call it a day. should not have to roll anything as long as you are not slammed.
When you start getting into the different offsets front and rear it means you can no longer rotate tires properly and can end up being a pain. When you start getting into high end tires and replace just the front or rear set things will never be the same.

Would you get rubbing with 255 if you are lowered 20mm?
