So to figure out how to convert it out, you have to see how many inches or mm it is from the center/hub to the fender. I gave you my specs to inform you of the data you need to figure out where the hub is located.
2 inches is roughly 50mm. I can explain more later and will give you the correct offset as well that you are asking for.

For my rim, 18x9 -6 would be the perfect size to be flush with the edge of the fender.
9in = 228.6
228.6/2 = 114.3
114.3+6 = 120.3mm = 4.74in
(add the 6 this time because we are looking for how large of the outer lip needs to be in order to be a perfect fitment.)

So the distance from the hub to the fender edge is 120.3mm or 4.74in.

18x9.5 +44.. When getting it custom made, the offset shouldnt matter as they will be curring both edges and just need the reading you want.

9.5in = 241.3
241.3/2 = 120.65
120.65-120.3 = 0.35
So that is smaller than 1 which means you will want 0 offset for those rims in the rear ( I assume widest rim in the rear).

Hope this helps. If anyone wants to correct me, please do because I am tired and at work and may be wrong somewhere.
Damn, I almost understood lol but I keep getting lost..
