We gotta be careful in how we word it I suppose. I say bigger offset in the negative sense, which will push the wheel inward. And width may also mean much less to you than us Autocrossers. I care about rear width as thats what Im trying to clear cones with. Front width matters, but rear is what really means moving the car further on left/right transitions and slaloms.

Well OP have APR widebody so he can get away with lower offset for sure

hmm yea i probably could get away with an 11" rim. not sure about 12"

But i doubt i would gain anything from running such a wide tyre, u end up with too much scrub radius which affects the cars ability to turn, Also very hard to get warmth into such a wide tyre

I think the 8/9s can get away with 3/4" longer without any axle changes as long as they are running aggressive camber (~3+) but there are options for longer axle shafts I believe.

Just giving you all the options
