What is offset?
The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. It determines how much the wheels stick out from the car. The best offset depends on your particular car as well as on the width of the wheels. As a general rule, you *should* be able to get away with an offset between +35-45, but you will have to check what others have used for your car's year, model, and version to be sure.

will a 15x8 wheel with a +25 offset poke out more than a 15x7 wheel with the same offset?

my guess would be yes, and by half an inch, but im a noob lol

Yes. And, indeed, by 1/2". Since the wheel is an overall inch wider and the measurement for the offset is from the center of the wheel, you have to divide the width change in half.
