Default Cobra R question

Do they make these cobra r rims with an offset?? I have 17X9 in the front and 17x10.5 in the rear but i want the rear to be offset. I like that deep look.

I mean a deep offset. My rims have a small lip. This is just an example, not a rim i had in mind :

If you go with that much offset, your tire would stick out the side of the car and make it look like a rollerskate

I've been looking at wheels lately and from what I've seen most wheels are around
17x8 with a 20mm offset
17x9 with a 24mm offset
17x10.5 with a 27mm offset

as you can see the offset is only a 7mm spread between extremes, divide that by 25.4 and you are only talking .276" (or about 5/16") difference.

Well, I dont want it that far either. I only want about a 2 in offset for the look. I know you can get the cobra rims with an offset?? I might have to sell the ones I have.
