I think it's Offset = Backspace minus (1/2 wheel Width)
O=B-(W/2)
When offset is positive, backspace is larger than the distance from the tire mounting lip to the centerline of the wheel, which is 1/2 the spec width.
When negative, backspace is less than half the spec width.
Seems right, anyway. No guarantee as I'm going from recent experience only.
The factory waffle rim is a 13x5.5, +25mm offset.
My new 7x15's are +10mm offset. They poke some in the front & are just about flush with the outer rear fender line.

15x7 +10 is perfect for front and rear, it will give you about 1/2 inch of clearance under full suspension travel. 15x8 +0 may stick out a 1/2 inch or so... but with the proper suspension setup tuck nicely with the right tire and give adequate clearance under full suspension travel .

Good choice for the rear. Be careful with the front. I doubt any more than a 215 will fit without rubbing the springs. Im running 205-50-15 with 15x7 +10 Panasports and i have maybe 10mm before it rubs my coilover springs.
In the video, that yellow car's performance can back up those rims. If you likve in Elgin Il, how can you get rims from australia.
