Wheel offset question

I currently have the 16in 6 star twin spoke wheels with the offset of +48 I believe? I am picking up from a friend 16x7.5 kosei k1 wheels with an offset of +43. My question is how much further will these stick out? I want to have the wheels flush with the fender. I have 10mm spacers right now. Do I need to get 15mm or 20mm spacers?

Assuming the 16" wheels are +48, 6.5" wide, the +43 7.5" K1s will protrude 18mm more than the 16" wheels currently do. You won't need any spacers. You get rid of the 10mm spacers, and the wheels still protrude by 8mm.

Thanks for the quick reply, and I believe they are 6.5in since the tires are 195/55/16. So that will be perfect for what I am looking for.

I have photos where 30 mm offset wheels are flush with the wheel flare on a gen two Mini. A 25 mm protrudes from the wheel well.

How wide are your wheels? And could you post a picture at all?
