Greg..your formula only works if the change in "J" is 1 inch (25.4mm) larger...the change in offset should be 1/2 the change in wheel size (J)...

last time I checked.......12.7 was about half of 25.4
Larger...smaller...the effect of 1" (1J) is 12.7.....one way or the other (unless I am missing your point).
1/2 J is 6.35
1.5J is 19
should I go on

you did miss my point...read your original post...you said "for every increase in J width (on a different wheel) add 12.7mm in offset in order to maintain the same 'fender line' on the larger wheel" you did not say for every inch in J increase...you obviously understand how it works by your last post, it was just that your original post was misleading...no offense intended
