    Have a look here and you can play with it a see what effect it has Wheel-Tire size comparer - RIMSnTIRES.com. It refers to where in relation to the edge of the rim the edge of the hub sits

      Basically a measurement of where the mounting face of the wheel sits in relation to the width of the wheel
      old school guys will refer to back space instead of offset

      There is a little info here in section 3 of post two

        It actually refers to how far in or out from the centre rim line the face of the hub sits. Minus is inside the centre line Plus is outside the line.
