Need some confirmation from the offset kings

I had a quick question.I dont have a vip car but I know this would be the right place to ask when it comes to offsets.Im about to go widebody on my s2000.The kit uses 350z offset wheels so I have been looking for the max fit on stock bodies.I came down to this.

19x9.5 +19
19x11 +17

Those were aggressive specs with stretch tires.So thing is I dont wanna run 19s on a little s2k.So I wanna lower it to 18's.Now my question is.I wanna lower the fronts to 9 wide and the rears to 10 wide.I used the offset calculator here:
http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

So basically these fitments match the above in rim outer position aka fender line..

18x9 +11
18x10 +4

I just need to make sure I got this all right.So basically I lose width but the wheel will still be flush with the fenders due to lower offset right?I dont wanna run wider than the specs I posted so the car doesnt have a hard time turning them.I still plan on running a mild stretch like 225 front and 245 rear.After this I just have to pick a wheel. :pat: Most likely something Work since I love their wheels.

I appreciate any help.Thanks

Wouldn't it be quickest to just look at how many more mm the widebody is, then increase poke by that much, with a combination of wider and lower offset?

^ what he said. we can't tell you whats gonna fit if we don't know how wide you are going. looks like you don't need much help anyway.

How much wider is the kit going to be than it is now? Measure the distance, and compensate accordingly.

Increases are..

+45mm per front
+50mm per rear

To make it easy it just says the kit will fit 350z fitment wheels.So im turning the 19 diameter to 18 and compensating less width with a lower offset like if they were going on a 350z.

so take the offset you have now, and adjust it accordingly.

Your calculations look good if that's the path you are taking.

For what it's worth, I've built 19x9 & 19x10.5 for stock-bodied S2Ks before
(rolled fenders).

With a widebody, it would be nice to see some fatties under there.
Isn't that sort of the point of doing a widebody?

Something like 255/30-19 + 315/25-19 on 19x10 + 19x12.5 would kick ass.

After more negotiations this will probably be the kit I will be scooping up.

http://bulletproofautomotive.com/catalog-detail.php?ID=3981

The offsets on it are 19x9.5 +23 , 19x10.5 +23

I much rather run 18x9 18x10 with low offsets

take the offset of your current wheels (if you wanna stay with that width and fitment) and subtract 45 and 50 respectively

Wow I didnt even think of that one.My fronts sit tucked but right on the dot.The back poke out about half an inch.With 40mm and 50mm subtracted we end up with

18x9 +18
18x10.5 -11
