Default sizing/offset help

I did some searching but couldnt find the answer im looking for. Just wanted to know if a 19x10.5 wheel with a +7 offset would be equivalent to a 19x11 with a +22 offset (give or take a mm or 2). I have a pic of a z with the 19x10.5 + 7mm with a 275 series tire on a do luck wide body and they look good. However, I currently have 19x11 +22mm with a 305 series tire. Just wanted to know if it would work out to be the same (fitment wise). Thanks for any help

EDIT: Im also having the do luck wide body installed.

Thanks for asking but I think you can use a offset calculator as well as I can: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

You would need a 10mm spacer to get a similer look with your 11's

Thanks for the link. However, my question does not just deal with the offset of the wheel. The size of the tires is also a factor im assuming. This link is great for offsets alone though thanks. (not trying to be a douche btw)

Thanks for the help. This is taking the tires into consideration correct?

No. To have the outer face of the 19x11 sit at the same spot as a 19x10.5 +7, the 19x11 would need to have a +13 offset, which will absolutely rub with a 305 tire without a flare or a seriously pulled fender. Tire size does come into play if you are trying to match the "look" of someone's set-up. He has 275s stretched on a 10.5. Your wheel is 1/2" wider, yet your tires are 1.25" wider. It won't be the same fitment wise at all.

The wheel that you propose, a 19x11 +22 would be the same (on the outer face) as a 19x10.5 +16.

^ Thanks for the info! (and for actually reading my question). I'll have a 30mm flare in the rear so I think I'll just go with terrasmak's advice and run a 10mm spacer for now. And yes I was talking about where the outer face sits btw. Thanks again to those that helped.

Is this before or after the wide body is installed? A 19x11 +12 (net) with a 305 tire will
rub the stock fenders. Our 19x10.5 +28 with a 305/30/19 rubbed when I added a 5mm spacer, and your wheel is 3/4" more "out" than that set-up. Once you have the flair, I suspect you could run a 15-20mm spacer.

The wheels and the flares are going on at the same time. I will also be lowering the car about an inch all around (coilovers, so not quite sure how low I'll go yet), and I dont want that tilted wheel (negative camber) look. You think I can go that much lower offset wise? The flares for the do luck are 30mm wider, but I really dont want any rubbing b/c its my DD.
