Correct offset to have rims flush with fenders?

I was looking at my 2018 SV today and I noticed that the stock wheels sit too far in for my taste, (tucked into the fender wells). I would prefer to have my wheels and tires more flush with the side of the car. So I think my next set of wheels will need to sit about an inch more to the outside of the car. I saw somewhere that the stock rims have an offset of 30mm. What offset would I need to have the face of the rim be about an inch farther out?

The offset on OEM SV wheels is 50mm. So if you want to move the wheels farther out...1 inch equals approximately 25 mm... so you are looking for a wheel with an offset of approximately 25mm.

My wheels are 9.5 wide with a +22 offset and I have a bit of poke. I would say 9.5 wide wheels and a +35 offset will fit flush. Hope this helps.

With SR OEM wheels if you want flush you need a set of 15 mm front and 20 mm rear. With the other 18" wheels you'll need a 20 mm front and 25 mm rear.
