One thing to check is your clearances between your wheels and your wheel wells and engine components. Changing the wheel offset will change the tire’s location with respect to the axis of steering rotation, so not only will it move the location of the tire inward, it will also vary the amount the tire travels forward and backwards when you cut the wheels all the way. I would suggest you check the clearances with your wheels cut all the way. This is probably less of an issue with stock size tires, but if you are pairing this change with oversize tires it could be a bigger problem. My Celica with 26.5” tires (stock is 24”) will rub at a full lock because the offset of the tire swings the tire into the back of the wheel well, thus I can only turn the wheel 90% of the way.
As far as the rims being “Air Blenders” there are always pizza pans until you can get your wheel skirts built.
