Nope. But as I understand it if you make a 1" wider you do the following.
Stock rear offset is +64mm right?
stock offset = +64 mm
1" = 25.4mm
64-(25.4/2)
64-12.7
so you would want a +51.3 (51-52)
baiscly just subtract 12.7 from the previous offset and that will put a .5" of extra wheel on each side of the stock wheel.
Atleast that is how I understand it. Can anyone confirm? Also I am not 100% positive on the stock offsets.

What about a road race version that is slightly wider? (.5-1" would be great)

Stock front: 16x6.5 +55mm
Stock rear: 16x7.5 +65mm
[EDIT]To maintain the wheel centerline, keep the offset THE SAME.[EDIT]
For road racing, though, might it be worth considering adding less offset than stock (i.e. increasing the track)?

every volk I have seen has not been quite the right offset.
There have been some special ordered ones that have good offsets.

I'm not sure the Specs On brians wheels (volks) But I know they are just a bit wider. Either half an inch or a full inch front and rear and the offset seems pretty nice. They look a hair wider but are still 100% within the wheel well. It could be the offset is a bit off, I always figured it was because they are wider then stock.

I think this is incorrect, the offset is measured from the centerline of the wheel.
If you increase the size of the wheel by one inch with the same offset you would have 1/2 inch more wheel on each side than stock.

The trick is to find out where you have the extra room for wider wheels, to the outside or to the inside.
