Wheel Offset Calculation Verification

Hey guys......I've got PIAAs 19x9 +25 / 19x10 +25

I wanted to mimic the wheel flushness with the fender like a 19x9.5+22 / 19x10.5+22 so I decided to make these calculations.

Can you verify that my calculations are right. I assumed that the 19x9.5/10.5 are in inches so I converted everything to mm because I know offsets are in mm.

My conclusions show that I need 10mm spacers all-around to get the same flushness as say a Volk LE-37 TA.

Can someone verify this for me? Thanks guys!!

10mm is correct(actually 9mm) Should look good. I've seen people run 15mm all around on the piaa's and rolled fender, better option IMO

do the piaa's have recessed areas on the backside of the wheel to accept the extra length of a bolt on spacer? I'm pretty sure they do. Or do you need spacers that use replacement extended studs? I would go with Eibach for bolt on, and either eibach or H&R for replaceable stud spacers
