I'm on the search for some new wheels but having trouble with the specs of them. I'm RWD, I currently have H&R springs and NGT 20mm spacers, I love how the car sits flush with the spacers on but i don't want to run spacers forever. What width and offset should i be looking for to have the same/similar fitment I currently have right now?
 
Hello, which kind of wheels specs you have right now?
 
An inch is 25.4mm, so here are a couple rules of thumb:
- An inch wider wheel at the same offset means adding ~12.5mm to the inside & outside (but if you also go up to a much meatier tire, it'll be more)
- Adding 12.5mm to your offset will shove your wheel back inward 1/2"

If you have stock 19s, your 20mm spacer is:
- Turning your stock 8" +34 fronts into 8" +14 offset, and
- Turning your stock 8.5" +46.5 rears into 8.5" +26.5 offset

So for the fronts, if we go from 8" to 8.5" at +34 we'll have 1/4" (6.25m) extra wheel on the outside, vs. the 0.8" (20mm) we want. Reduce offset by ~14mm and an 8.5" +20 should get us there. As a check, going from 8" +14 (what we have with the spacer) to 8.5" +14 has 1/4" or 6.25mm extra outside, which we correct by increasing offset to +20.

For the rears, if we go from 8.5" to 9" at +46.5 we'll again be about 14mm inward of where we want to be, so 9" +32 should get us there. As a check, going from 8.5" +26.5 (with spacer) to 9" +26.5 would leave the same 1/4" or 6.25mm hanging out, so 9" +32-33.

If you want to go a full inch wider, you'll again be adding another 1/4" or 6.25mm inside and out which you can correct by increasing offset that much. So I believe that would be about 9" +26 front and 9.5" +40 rear.

If someone with more experience in Stinger-specific wheels could check my math, that would be appreciated...

So you're saying fronts are 8.5 +20 and rears are 9" +32?
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...

Those are the sizes that I believe would put the outside edge the same place it is for stock wheels with 20mm spacers.
