MA Will these conversions change my offset

Whats up people....
quick question, I searched but couldnt find a answer
I have a 1985 Gsl.
I want to do a bolt pattern conversion. From what I have found I have two basic options.
Conversion from a gsl-se or from a second gen.
Question is will either of the 2 change my offset, both the gsl-se and the sec gen have high offsets.Should I even be conserned with this when doing the conversion, is it gonna benefit me in regards to fitting deeper lipped rims.
Ide like to get a real agressive look, with a deep dish.
Thanks for your help.

It depends on how you do it. Bolt on conversion spacers will change the width but redrilling the rear and front hubs won't.

If you install GSL-SE suspension pieces it will add roughly 20mm additional offset. This will give you less deep dish wheels rather than more. I'm not sure about the second gen setup.

If you're just going for dip dish wheels don't waste your time with a conversion. Save yourself time and trouble, and inevitably cash, by finding a fitting set of SSR reverse mesh or Epsilon wheels, true OG wheels.
