Offset is "quoted" the same as is Camber.
Toward the outside is positive, toward the inside is negative.

Most times, the only requirement to be a Tire Salesman, is having worked a Burger King, or Jack in the Box for over one week.

YOU do the research, YOU take your measurements, YOU decide if it's right for you, and then YOU KNOW it's right.

Hello! Negative Offset wheels will make your tires stick out while Positive offset wheels will make your tires tucked in from your Factory OEM Range Offset. Let me know what vehicle you have so i can let you know what's the maximum recommend negative offset you can go. It really depends on what stock offset your vehicle have.
