48 offset minus 45 offset = 3mm of offset
12.7mm + 3mm = 15.7mm, which is approximately 16mm, meaning the surface of the new wheel will stick out 16mm more than stock.

16mm = 0.63"

Thanks!
So, as far as Wheel Spacers go, since I'm using a 20mm for the front, instead I'd probably use a 5mm spacer for front?

And for the rear I could take my 25mm spacer and subtract the 16mm, so I'd need a 10mm roughly for the rear?

I'll be going from 20mm front, 25 rear TO 5mm front, 10mm rear? Does that sound about right?
