yes, the offset is the angle your wheel sits at in relation to your hub.

It's nothing to do with angles. It's how far the wheels stick out from the hub.

nothing to do with angles...offset will determine how far in or out the arch your wheel will sit...if your et is a low figure eg et 7 then it will sit further out the arch than a wheel with offset et20, i believe the offset of a vauxhall corsa will probably be around et30-35 or something...

An offset of ET35 for example will make your wheels stick out further from the arches, whereas an offset of ET60 (never heard of it, but just for examples sake) would make the wheels sit further inside the arch.
