I’ve put some numbers in here for you.

You’re going to need some careful measurements as it looks like the extra width with the offset puts them a lot further into the arches. Would be a good idea to mock it up with some spacers made of wood first - doesn’t need to fit perfectly but it’ll give you an idea of what will work before you order the spacers.

My 17x7 with a RWD offset I still needed a 5mm spacer on the front so you might find you need more on the front.

If you are lowering too you might need an adjustable pan hard rod too to centre the rear wheels back up to make sure the wider rims/tyres fit perfectly.
