Wheel measuring

I have a quick question regarding how a wheel is sized. I currently have Advan RSII's 18x10 +25 with AD08 265 35 tires. I like how they fit in the fenders/quarter panels. I am in the process of trying to sell them to get the Enkei RS05RR's.

My question is, if I go with the Enkeis in a 10.5 +25 will that extra 1/2" mean the wheel will be 1/2" further out? 1/2" more inward toward the coils? maybe 1/4" on each side? I am just trying to visualize how they will look since I am having problems finding photos of them on an Evo.

Thank you

1/4" each side. Offset is measured from the center; same offset, therefore, center of wheel in same place as before. (This is why it is preferred to the old-school method of quantifying wheels, which was back-spacing.)

Cool thanks. That's good to know. I think 1/4" more out towards the fender should still keep the tires under the fenders.

Thanks for those. I was pretty close. I was figuring 3mm more poke going from the 9.75 +19 XXR 550 to the 10.5 +25 Enkei 05rr's. The calculator said 3.5
