The wheel width also plays an important factor to the settings of the wheels/tires. For example, when you compare the stock 19x8.5 ET47 with 19x9.5 ET38 (assuming both setup uses identical 255 tires), the wheels/tires will be 9mm closer to the fenders. However, since the new wheels are 1" wider, the outer edge of the new rims should stick out 9mm + 12.5mm (1/2") = 21.5mm compare to stock. The wider rims will give a slight stretch to the tires, which can also affect the overall clearance. When comparing 19x9.5 ET38 and 19x8.5 ET35, the 9.5" setup would still be more aggressive (by 9.5mm) than the 8.5" even though the offset is less aggressive.
