A negative offset means the rim spokes convex inward towards the car, a positive offset means the rim spokes bulge outwards away from the car... hope this helps:)

highlander pretty much explained what an offset is. you can also go to www.tirerack.com for more detailed explanation and pictures.

as far as your car, i suggest a minimum of +40 offset. i'm using a set of rims with +42 offset and it doesnt give me any problems at all. i had a +38 offset before on a 17 with a coil over drop. it didnt last long.........:no:
