New guy looking for a wheel guru

Ok as a guy who deals in wheels quite a bit this forum is maddening. I see people mention tire size, I see people mention wheel width and I see people mention offset but almost never all 3 at once which is a very major point in fitting wheels.

People say oh you need xx offset not to rub but offset is only relevant if you know the actual wheel width. Is it safe to assume you are always taking about 8.5 and 9.5 when discussing S55's? I'm trying to build some 19" wheels but this forum has very little hard info. Thank you

I guess I'm asking if wider wheels can be achieved? Like I'm ok with running a 8.5 front but can a 10" rear be fitted?

10 inch will fit, you have to convert the offset from stock 9 inch to 10 inch.
