spacers or wider wheels, trying to decide Options

[lagos]

im trying to figure out what would push my rims out more so that they are flush with the body. i think my current rims are 40offset 7in wide. if i get a 25mm spacer, that will push them out about 1 inch.

now my other option is to get 17x8s with 35 offset. i used the offset calculator, and it tells me that the differece between the new rims and my old ones would only be 18mm

so, am i missing something here? the spacer would push the wheels out the most, right?

if u see it in person, youll noticed that my wheels look very push in . every celica with rims has this issue cause we have such wide bodies compared to other cars.

i dont want my wheels pushed out too far, just about 1in out more then they are right now.

icic. i thought you wanted it flush with the car...

so i guess "flush" with the car isn't exactly flush.. it's a little bit pushed in still?
