Default How much farther will these come out?

Sup fellas. I'm planning on putting wheels back on the car, and need some help. I understand the basic principles of offsets, but I still don't understand how much change I'll see with the wheel widths and offsets.

The wheels I'm planning on getting are 15x6 with a 33 offset(Don't mind the small size, it'll make sense when I'm done). How much farther will these come out compared to stock steelies(since they're 38 and 5.5)? I'm willing to get OTG shims still, and maybe extra OTG spacers, but if I'm gonna get noticeably closer to my fenders I'll be content without them. Thanks guys. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

33 offset would be close in the rear. oh, but you're 6 inches wide.

If you go 15x7 w/ a 33 offset, that'd be alot better.

These new wheels will be pushed out five millimeters more than the stock setup. Plus, figure in the new wheels are 12.7mm (or .5 inches) wider.

Thanks guys. Problem is these wheels are one of the kinds you have to hope you can find in 4x100, and in fair condition. I've got to work with constraints to use these, or pray I can find a flush set.

11.35 mm closer to the fender lip. that's just a tiny bit Still would want to shim it, IMO.

As long as H&R still makes spacers, you'll be able to push the wheels out as far as 25mm.

I think the steelies are 6" wide. I remember seeing it when my steelies were off. I also remeber that the Wheel/Tire FAQ was wrong.

That means 15x6 +33 would be roughly 5mm further out.
