Offset is normally -8mm, meaning the mounting face is 8mm behind the centerline of the wheel.

Anything with more positive offset will sit back into the wheel arch and may hit the springs, or wishbones or chassis on full lock. Can be cured with wheel spacers.

To much negative offset will foul the bumper and bulkhead on full lock and stick out from the wheel arch further. Can be cured with suspension/body lifts or angle grinder.
