Default what is offset for 2005 Mustang GT with 20's??

before I ask I'll preface this by saying I have read what I believe is every post on the topic, and it seems to change..I understand the offset in theory, hoowever some say it changes as the wheel gets wider eg. for every inch subtract 12.5 in offset, which would mean diff offsets for front and rears..I am orderind TSW Thruxtons for my 05, 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 10's..which are a deep dish style wheel, if anyone has them or knows somebody who does have a set fitted to there ride with a size that works I would love to have the specific #'s..susp is stock except that eibach prokit will be installed when the new wheels/tires go on..tires if it matters will likely be nt555's 255/35 and 285/30..thanks in advance, I no this topic has been beat to death but I'm ordering online so....

20x10s should be a 48mm offset and 20x8.5s at 38mm.

thanks, im assuming those are the ideal offsets, would you happen to know the minimums, for example I think the fronts come in a 35mm, or should I just adhere to the "ideals" to be safe??

Not 100% sure if 35 will work. I'm sure others will chime in soon.
