offset is the deepness of the wheel. deeeeeep dish wheels have negative offset where as most cars have positive offset

Yes, some lower offset wheels are too much which ends up sticking out of your guard. Some offset are too high for the vehicle which cannot clear the brake calipers. Meh some e.g

Welcome to the forum. Forums have LOTS of useful information that you just need to spend a bit of time reading up on. We always ask people to search because a lot of topics have already been discussed. Unfortunately, an attitude such as this (which indicates lazyness) is not helpful. Other people are taking time out to help you, so atleast do some basic reading before taking up other peoples time.

If you're not taking the time to educate yourself, why should others bother to educate you?
