help with offset for new wheels

ok i am trying to find some new wheels for my car (04 sedan) i dont want to poke and i dont want it to be sunkin in either. my current setup is 20x8.5 +20 and 20x10 +45. i like those offsets. i am completely fine with them. hate all you want. anyways. i am thinking that if i went with 19s in the same width i would need to get a little lower on the offsets because the wheel is smaller and if i went with the same offsets as now it wouldnt sit in the same spot. but ANYWAYS. the sizes i am thinking about getting are 19x8.5 +15 and 19x9.5 +35.

according to this calculater i found in the wheel section sticky. if i type in my current width and offset and then the new one (talking rear only right now) if i am reading it right, i gain 16mm of clearance on the inside wheel lip and i am 4mm more agressive. am i reading that right?



cliff notes for people that dont want to read.

question 1 - is a 20x10 +45 4mm LESS agressive than a 19x9.5 +35?

question 2 - does anyone know of some wheels that are around 19x8.5 +15 and 9.5 +35 for around a grand?

Cliff note:
20X10 sits the same as 14x10.

Offset will not change with wheel diameter...........

If you are thinking that the smaller diameter wheel will camber more and sit in more then you are right............................................o nly if you are going with a smaller diameter tire too.

Yes your calculations are correct.

Oh
Q1: Yes
Q2: no
