I'll just use one as an example:

Rota J-SPL Wheels (15 x 6.5 / 4 x 100 / +35 )

The wheels dimensions: 15" tall, 6.5" wide
The bolt pattern of the wheel: 4 bolts at 100mm spacing
The wheels offset: +35mm

Offset is the space from the center of the rim to the hub of the rim (where it mounts up). The lower offset you have, the bigger the lip will be and the more the lip will stick outside of the wheel well.

Per say you have a 15x8+0 wheel...with a 0 offset, the hub will bolt to the wheel directly in the middle (4" to the inner/outter rim from mounting point) of the rim. A positive mounting point will bring the mounting point closer to the outsider; negative pulls the mounting point inside.

It's moderately confusing because wheel height and width is measured in inches and offset is in mm.
