Default need some help with measurements

I want to get on the ball and order some wheels for my 94 GS. I want flush with the body, just tucked under the fender lip. I have no problem or difficulty pulling the fender slightly to achieve the look I want.

Problem though. It has been raining non stop here the last few days, and I'm impatient.

I need to ascertain the depth of the wheel well, a measurement from the face of the rotor hub to the stock fender lip, on the front and rear of the car.

Then I can plug in the figures to an offset calculator and figure out how wide I can go. .etc.

I'll spill the beans because maybe there is an easy answer. Looking at the Zedd SL5 18". Can't decide if the car can handle the +12,+15 offsets, Or go conservative at the +22 f/r.

Anyone have these wheels on a 1st gen GS?

I really hope not. :/

Another reason I want to know is to run a decent tire size on the rear. 400+hp will require it in my world. .
