s13 Flared S13 flush offset......?

Ok, if youre looking at this, you know what a big deal proper wheel fitment is. I've already done the offset calculators online, but I thought id give this a shot and see if anyone has any first-hand experience or pictures. I'm trying to get a flush (or damn close) wheel setup for my S13 track car when it goes back together..... which will have 50mm PJ fender flares front and rear. I was eyeballing some Varrstoen wheels, 18x9.5 +12 front and 18x10.5 +0 rear. I realize I will probably also need a spacer to get the wheels out a little more. With a 5 mm spacer on these wheels, I think my calculations say that the wheel lip will be within about 8mm of the edge of the fender (which is fine by me with the terrible roads around here). Can anyone tell me if this math is correct? Or do you know of other sizes and offsets that work for wide s13s? Any info is greatly appreciated.

This is 18x9.5 +12 on stock fenders... so if you add 50mm flares on top of that its gonna take more than a 5mm spacer to be somewhat flush.

Edit: I dont have a picture but I also have 18x9.5 +12 in the front and its just as flush if not a bit more poke

you do have some play with fiberglass fenders, you just have to have someone hold em to the shape you want while you connect em.
I am sure my 50mm over fenders are smooshed down and stretched out to mid 40's somewhere.

you have already cut up the fender wells?

You didn't say what tire sizes you are looking to get... that's the most important part since that's what would be hitting the quarter/fender.

You can get some nasty wheel and tire sizes under a 50mm!

For a little bit of reference, I have a 25mm pull with 18x11 +30 with a 285/30 tire and -2.5 degrees of camber:
