What offset wheel to match this stance?

[Flip]

Hi again. If my Willys axle is .75" wider (per side) than my Sport but my fender is also 1" wider and I got the same wheel as the Sport then wouldn't I have the same relative stance minus .25"? I'd be 1.5" wider in general (watch out slot canyons!), but in silhouette I would have the same poke as my Sport?

The Sport wheel is 8.5 and the wheel I want for my Willys is 9 but otherwise the same - does wheel width make a difference in poke? The tiresize.com calculator doesn't account for wheel width.

Are you sure the sport wheel is 8.5" ? My 2023 sport wheels are 7.5"

Yeah my sport doesn't have the stock wheels its got the Black Rhino 8.5x17 wheels with an -18 offset. According to that calculator it looks like if I got a 9x17 wheel with a -12mm offset it would be almost identical to the 8.5x17 wheel with an -18mm offset.

this doesnt help at all but these are -38

I like it, realizing that you add 0 to the conversation, with an offset that is far outside of what she's looking for, then post a pic for attention, and best part, it doesn't even show how much of your tires are beyond the fenders. Chef's kiss, absolutely brilliant shit posting.

Yes. Are you measuring poke by comparing tire to fender or tire to body? I've assumed tire to fender. I think @yokramer got all confused because he was considering tire to body.

Wheel width doesn't matter within reason because the tire always sticks out more than the wheel.

Your observation is why I said you'd want -24mm offset instead of your current -18mm, to match tire to fender poke. If you want the same tire to body poke, keep -18mm.

All of this is small potatoes though. -12mm, -18mm, it's going to look about the same. You're already more than 2 inches beyond stock poke.

Remember your tire is much wider than your wheel so the rubber, not the wheel itself, is creating the visual outside edge for the poke. Offset is the center line of the wheel, so 8.5 vs 8 doesn't matter for poke.
