Positive offset moves the outer edge of the wheel toward the centerline of 
the car.

All the current cars with front wheel drive use wheels with offsets in the 
+30 to +45 mm range. That's why we need spacers and adapters to make them 
work.

Negative offset moves the outer edge away from the centerline of the car.
