Higher the offset number the more they will be pushed towards the center of the car.

Lower number eg -12 will stick wells outside the guards
Higher Number eg +38 will push the wheels into your struts.

I know what it's like on night shift, I pretty much shut down :lol:

Like unlimitedpower said, offset does the opposite of what you said up there ^
If two sets of wheels are the same width but different offsets, the lower offset wheels will have more dish and a will give a wider track than the higher offset wheels.
