Yes you are right, adding an inch of lip reduces offset by 25, I was thinking in the negatives (+0 to -25) my fault.
If your lips are 2 and 3 inch, the math is wrong at +38 or +25 offset.
Based on those offsets;
2" outer on a 9" wide wheel would mean that the front was a x8 +53 (actually, that could be possible, but I don't recall a x8 +53 RS? Could be possible tho)
3" outer on a 10" wide wheel would mean x8 +75 (no way) or x8.5 +62 (no way)
Based on what you said and the way it looks, my best guess is the wheels are near +20 in the front and for sure around 0 or negative in the rear. Although I couldn't tell u exactly unless I knew the original specs to begin with. If you look under the center caps, the size and offset are stamped. If you can post, I'll let you know for sure. I'd love to see how far off I am.
Regardless, it's badass!

Fit looks good! mucho props on making the fitment work, however crazy it may be. Couple of quick questions:
How far down are the coilovers adjusted? Are they at full drop or can they go lower?
And what size and brand tires are you using on the BBS wheels?
How far down are the coilovers adjusted? Are they at full drop or can they go lower?
And what size and brand tires are you using on the BBS wheels?
the fronts are maxed out, dropped to the lowest point, and im trying to go lower
the rears still have about an inch to go.
as far as tires are concerned, im using 215/35 Yokohama S. Drives in the front and 215/40 nankang's in the rear (forgot what model they were)

Are you sure about this? I was pretty sure that offset was relative to the center line of the wheel and where the hub is. Therefor the extra width of the wheel itself being 9 and 10" incorporates the lip into that and in the process is able to keep the offset close to standard around 30 or 40. granted these are big lips and have offsets closer to 0 but its definitely not negative or above 50.
At least thats what I got out of Tirerack's offset guide. Just my $.02
I could be wrong

What you have to take into consideration is that if you just add lips, you're only adding to the outer rim half. If you add one inch of width to the outers, you're pushing the center in 25 mm. If you add an inch to the inners, you're pushing the center out by 25mm.
Assuming that the left side of this post is out, and right side is in. Let's use this example of a 0 offset with inners and outers matching in width.
Normal = 0 offset, 4 inch outer, 4 inch inner
I-I-I
1" Bigger Outers = -25 offset, 5 inch outer, 4 inch inner
I--I-I
1" Bigger Inners = +25 offset, 4 inch outer, 5 inch inner
I-I--I
Hopefully that help some of you out. Donations are welcomed

MOAR PICS!
You're on D2's right? I think I read that. The strut mount is threaded, so that in combination with the adjustable spring perch should get you lower. When I first installed mine, we were literally 2" between the frame and and ground. You can get lower for sure!
If you want to buy my air, LMK - it will help with all that rub when you get lower
