Supposed to be picking up a 1995 GT convertible tomorrow. Currently has stock tires and wheels and looking to upgrade. Nothing too crazy, just a cool looking set with the rear sticking out to about even with the fender lip, similar to this pic here. Car is stock height and I don't want to lower it. Mainly looking for the rear wheels to look better in the wheel well.
Any ideas what size and offset?

Thanks!

18x9.5 +22 on 285/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Fits perfectly and tucks right in with the fender lip. You can’t go wider or further out without cutting the tire or having to roll fender. Being you are staying stock height you could go more flush/poke. I couldn’t bc it used to cut the tires on compression

If I want a slightly deeper dish what would i be looking for for offset? Larger or smaller offset? Back in my drag racing days I bought a 15 x 10 with 4.5" backspace (example). Now it's metric with backspace, frontspace, etc...lol
