13 in. wide w/ widebody

I have a Mazdaspeed widebody kit. I am getting tanabe coilovers installed in my car. Is it possible to fit a 19x13 inch wheel on my car in the rear with a +45mm offset. I tried installing my dad's porsche wheels on my car, it was 18x11/12ish. The tires were 295mm wide, I measured that up with a ruller and got 11.5 inches. It rubbed on the outside a little bit because my car was lowered on the eibach prokit and tokico struts. Now I am adding coilovers and will probably raise the car and inch in the rear and half an inch in the front. I will also trim the inside lip of the widebody and my fenders. with that said, I could most likely fit on the porsche wheels onto my car( i used some spacers/adaptors for the bolt pattern difference). It just barely rubbed the fenders, I cant roll my fenders because they are fiberglass, so I will shave some off of both my body kit and the fenders. With the adaptors+ the +45mm offset on the rims I could could do the 18x11/12ish rims from my dads 911 turbo. They are stock turbo wheels and they can fit. Now if I keep the same offset and increase the rim size to 19x13, would I have enough vertical clearance for the 19 inches, and enough depth toward my inner wheelwell for the extra 1.5-2 inches back there? If I dont have enough clearance for 19, I would have to go back down to 18 and have it custom made to 13 inches, that is if it works. Help me out guys, thanks. Another thought too is that I could remove the spacers/adaptors and make it a +70mm offset. That way it would make more room for a bigger lip.

Thanks,

Chris

I do not believe there is any way to fit a 13 inch wide rim with that offset. I am running 18x12's in the back with a +0 offset. They fit perfectly. No rubbing of the fenders, or more importantly of the suspension. Hope that helps.

Wait, the offset is the distance between the outer edge of the rim and the inner part that rests on the car...sorry dont know what it's called.
