    Sorry if the title is a bit confusing

    Long story short, saw a car with fitment that I liked. That car was running a staggered setup.

    Im FWD…wider in the rear is no bueno

    Front was 18x8.5 +40
    Rear was 18x9.5 +40

    Anyway to find out what the offset of the rear should be to keep it at the same (or similar) location with a 8.5 wide in the rear?

    I get that if i go with a 8.5 in the back, the wheel will be 1” shorter. I just need to know the offset that the 8.5 will have to be in order to keep it at the similar location as the 9.5

    Wheels are 3 piece so i have lots of flexibility

    Not even sure if it’s possible to get an answer being that the wheel is 1” shorter but I thought I’d ask
