In short, The offset is the distance from where the hub actually mounts to the wheel, to the center line of the wheel.

offset depends on the width and size of the wheel.

find the wheel of your choice with the available offset range.

go from there.

that would be wide wheels, low offset. Or if you're referring to mexican still "popping out of the fender" that would be not so wide wheels, with crazy ass negative offsets for no reason what so ever...
