Wheel offset with particular wheels

New to figuring offset out. So from what I’ve searched “”x7 +20 fits best but I’m looking at a set of SSR longchamps that are 14 x 6.0J +14
14 x 7.0J +10. To me I think they will fit under my 84’s stock fenders from what I’m understanding. I have a fender roller and done it many times on my cars over the years without destroying the fenders. I’m not gonna yank the fenders, just a edge roll to not cut the tires. Thinking 195/65’ or if I can fit without rubbing while turning 205’s

any help before I surprise the wife with the credit card bill 🤫

I have 15" x 7" Rota RB's with a +30 offset with 205/50/r15's tires I just put on my 85 GSL-SE and they tuck-in nicely with no issues. I would think a rim that's an inch smaller and an inch narrower and has a +10 or+14 offset wouldn't present a problem. But you can check out what you want on this site's tire wheel calculator to be sure before you buy.

do you know the factory 13’s width and offset by chance. I’m having issues searching on mobile efficiently


edit, found it. 13x5.5 +17 is factory so they should clear just fine. Maybe 3-5mm spacers to ensure tire clearance on the strut but I’ll see what I can fit once they show up

i think the stock 13" have a width of like 5.5. possibly stamped/cast on the back side of the wheel.
