Serious Question about new offset!!!

Hi i have right now Volk GT-AV Rims in 19*8.5 front and 19*9.5 rear

Well the problem is i am widening my rx8 and i don't want to add spacers rear.The fenders will be arround 6cm or more wider..

So i though i ll buy just the one piece of the rim(cause its 2piece rim)in 19*10.5 but what should be the new offset so i ll have it again as out as it gets in the fender???

My offset right now in the 9.5 is +40mm, what should be the new offset????

Please help me out cause i must order soon so ll i have them in the right time...

Pics from the rims if that may help here: https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...&postcount=388

i wouldn't go lower than +45. maybe even +50 because you are going to rub like crazy any lower.

every 1/2 inch makes your rims stick out 6mm more. if your wide fenders will stick out 6mm more then i think if you go 10.5, you should go +40 or +43 offset just to be safe

So i went to the wheel offset calculator...
My old offset was +40mm in the 19*9.5rim i have right now
My new wheel will be 19*10.5 and i typed -5 offset....

Then the calculator siad i ll have to extend arround 5.8cm...And that's the desired i believe cause i am going to extend the rear fenders arround 6cm!!So i am cool..Right??Please someone confirm if i am okay...???

dude I got 20x10's in the rear, what would make you think I dont have a idea of what im talking about.
and yes they will fit but at what price and why go with a lower offset its not needed. for that go with a 19x9 or 19x8.5 rear and get the look
or is it just for impressive #'s

p.s my friend has Ashanti 20x11.5 on his g35 I want to try out

Again you are wrong.You miss the point!!

I LL HAVE WIDE FENDERS 6CM MORE THAN STOCK!!!!!

My rim right now is 19*9.5 and is very close to the fender.The new fenders will be 6cm more so i want a rim to be as close as possible to the new fender..So -5 offset in 19*10.5 will do..

PLEASE READ WHAT I ASK BEFORE YOU TRY TO HELP ME..
I appreciate the answers but you miss the point...

greece rx8 u understand that we can try to help you TRY you dont have a stock rx8 body now.so I and just about anyone here can Guess now.we can make a smart guess and MY best guess is higher offset to be sure. please understand you can take some info we passed on to you but your best bet is to try at a local rim shop after the body is wider.
thanks

Hey Kel i really apreciate all your answers ans support but the solution to wait until the body will be finished can't be done cause the volk rims will be minimum here in 3months..I can't wait 2months for the body and 3 more for the rims...I am going tomorrow with the -5...I found here that this will work..

http://home.pacbell.net/fong8/gstuff...ffset_calc.xls

I just typed 9.5 which is my rim right now with the +40mm offset
and 10.5 which will be the new rim with the -5mm offset and it told me that the new rim will be 5.8cm out of my rim right now so it will be very close to the new fender i ll have installed...Great

you should use at least 0 offset if you do widebody, if you want it look flush, get maybe -20!!
im not running 9.5 +25 all around, and i only had to roll the rear fender and some negative camber!
