Ok lets take 16x7 +45 4x100 as an example.
1)16 is the diameter.
2)7 is the width of the wheel.
3)+45 is the offset
4)4x100 is the bolt pattern.

Well, if you're getting the 16x8" model, you won't be able to fit the +48 or +45 offset in the wheel well, without rubbing the inner fender. So, you'd be wise to get the +40 offset for that.

As for the 17x7.5" model, you'd be best off getting either the +40 or +45 offset, depending on what size tires you want to run.

Actually you don't. I've put a set of 16x8 +41's and didn't get any rub, even on full lock.

You will rub your fenders/quarter panels with that offset. Like I said earlier, +40 or +45.

Once again, I said +40 or +45. The +40 is what I would go with.
