Found a set of wheels I love for my 99LC, but struggling if the size/offset will work.
18x9 +12

If I am doing my math correctly, this would mean the wheel would sit 2.3"'s further out that my stock 16x8's. Add the OME 2.5" and the stock wheels that sit "inside" the body suck into the body even more, so subtract that 2.3 by a some factor.

Thoughts? I would like to run a set of 33's and be close to flush. There's a set of Volks posted now with a 0 offset that are more aggressive than I would like...and 12mm isn't a lot.
 
A 18x9 +12mm wheel would "stick out" the same as that Volk 16x8 0 offset wheel. But the tire will "pull in" slightly because it is centered over a 9" wheel vs a 8" wheel.
 
Ok, that's what I thought. I assume I am going to be clear of the fender "sticking out". Not sure that's the look I am going for. Thanks for the feedback
