Need help calculating offset

Ok this might get a little confusing:
I have a 5.5 Gen running stock wheels at the moment.
I was looking to get either 8" or 8.5" wheels. I also have 20mm spacers in the rear and 5mm spacers in front. Which offset would I need to purchase so that the wheels (8" or 8.5") would fit?

with or without rubbing? Are your fenders rolled?

No, fenders are not rolled. I would prefer no rubbing.

check sticky #4 above.

IIRC if you get 8" wheels, get them all in 30 offset and get rid of all the spacers entirely.

Don't want to get rid of spacers....don't have the old wheels studs.

Wheel studs are $1 each. Take less than an hour to change them all if you have an impact. I run 19 X 8.5 front 235/35-19 and 19 X 9.5 rear 245/35-19 with no rubbing. I have AGX and Tein S techs on my 4th gen. The 5th gen has much more room in the wheel wells.
