Yes, higher number = narrower stance (the mounting surface is "pushed" outboard more and more). So +43 should be 3mm (.118") narrower than +40.
I'll measure my actual offset/backspacing some time this week and report back.
Just got my Enkei TY-5 18s (in black) installed. 245-40-18 front, 285-35-18 back. Went with 18s, because these are sort of "track wheels/tires" in case I do it more than a few times, and 18" tires are way cheaper than 19s. This way, I got Pilot 4s instead of Falken FK510s in 19 for the same price. Plus, I kinda dig the bigger sidewall look - kinda Nascar/F1-ish. Ride also feels smoother.
MSW Type 82 machined with gunmetal accent
18x8. ET45. I used an 8mm spacer.
Weighs 25lbs according to Tire Rack
These are Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio OEM wheels clone. Many modern wheels have sharp and straight spokes. I love the curve of these wheels. Concavity is not bad for high offset wheels.

I've got their HF-1 wheels and love them. Think I may downsize my rears to just 20x10 +45 because 10.5 is poking a little more than I thought it would but aside from that, the wheels and their service has been solid.
Ok, can't edit anymore. Just wanted to throw in some quick pics from my cell phone taken in a hurry. Kudos to Jason @GetYourWheels for his patience and help.
Anybody have this set up on their stinger? Advant Garde 19x8.5 front, 19x9.5 rear from getyourwheels.com I'm looking for something that is very close to OEM spec, but the offset is listed as custom on their site. Can anyone kindly photoshop this on a micro blue gt please? Thanks in advance.
Here is one I am considering: Niche Methos 19x8.5 35mm and 19x9.5 35mm
Not sure if there will be too much poke or not with this set up, but to me a little bit of poke is okay (I know not everyone feels this way). Anyone have any thoughts on the black version of these wheels?
Here is a pic of the Bronze Methos on a Stinger (not my stinger). For reference, here are the stats of the wheels in the below pic:
20x10.5 40mm with 275/30 tires. I pulled this pic and info from Fitment Industries.
With so narrow wheels if you put the regular tyre on them you will not have much poke because the tyres will be over the edge of the rim.
Honestly, unless you leave in a hellhole with horrible roads, I would sacrifice a bit of functionality and go with same setup as the picture you posted. The Methos is a great looking wheel and deserves to be in a size that is visually as beautiful as can be!
I live in Michigan where there are a TON of potholes. So I would prefer a slightly smaller wheel (the 19 vs 20) with a slightly larger tire profile. I am still considering the 20s though! I do want to keep a staggered set up though.
Not blue, but I shopped a few wheels (Inc those Avant garde) onto a ceramic when I was deciding on what to buy. Someone with better skills could probably change the color.
I know, I know...I'm slacking. Work has been insane and I jacked my knee up a couple weeks ago...I'll try and get it cleaned up this weekend and snap some pics for you.
