offset

I know this issue has been view dozen times, but I don't understand pretty well about the offset, if the number is lower it means it puts farther the wheel??? I ask this becouse in the sticky thread it says the 18" wheel we can put on our car has to be 7.5 w/offset of +40 so anything more than that won't fit?? I mean if I want to put a wheel with +42 or +43 it won't work?? or if I want a 7.5" w/offset +35???

Sorry for asking this but I wan't 18" no less and I'm not sure what could fit and what could not, 'cos I haven't found any 18" with +40 offset!!!

Thanks, guys!!

For you're info I run 18x7. 18x7.5 didn't fit in the rear. They would rub. Maybe that was a problem of offset but I don't think so.

Take it from me I don't think a 18x7.5 wheel would fit. I've tried two models and they didn't fit so that's why I took 18x7. Also I can lower the suspension since there's enough space.

I have 17X7.5 w/ a 42 offset and they are pretty much even with the inside edge of the fenders...
