ha ha I'm on night shift i went into supercheap to look at their primer and to see what I'll need and opened my mouth and made my self look like a real tard :lol:
what i was asking is positive offset = a wider track ie will these rims stick out more from the guards giving more track or have been sniffing too much paint last night

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.
