This looks good but it seems flawed.......
while it may work for a given model of wheel in different sizes, I don't see how you can use this info to compare, for instance, stock to aftermarket wheels. The main problem being that there is no way for this calculator to take into account the differences in spoke design and geometry. there is really no way to determine what kind of brake clearance you will have when changing to a different wheel.

Yes, brake clearance needs to be addressed, but the basic premise can be answered.
It's a starting point as I said, where you kinda need to see the "footprint" when changing offsets.

question: assuming offsets are equal, would changing wheel width affect...
where the face of the wheel is?
IE - going from 17 x 8 et35 to 17 x 7 et35 means narrower wheels will look more depressed into the well vs the 8" wheel?

yes...the calculator will do the numbers for you, just fill in the fields.
