Stock OE offset question...

...I am running G-Stock autocross. I am going to purchase some used SSR Comps 16 x 6.5 (OE size, which it has to be). BUT! You can put ANY tire on them that you want. I will be putting 225/50R16s Kumho V710s. So my question is - what's the "legal" offset on that setup?

G-stock requires rims that are the same overall diameter and width as stock with offset that is plus or minus 1/4" from stock offset of +48mm.

The SSR Comp R rims that were sold by tirerack.com in 16x6.5 to match the stock MINI rims are of the correct offset about +45mm.

The most common sizes to put on those rims are-
Kumho V710 215/40-16 $175 each 19 lbs 22.6" tire diameter
Hoosier A6 205/45-16 $206 each 19 lbs 22.8" tire diameter

225/50-16 ($209) is heavy at 24 lbs and taller than stock at 24.7"
