Well, I'm not a tire/wheel expert, but I know the basics. Camber (not chamber) describes how the wheel tilts in towards or away from your car. If you have negative camber then the top of your wheel will tilt in towards your car and the bottom of your wheel touching the ground will be tilted further out /-o--o-\. Positive camber is the opposite. People use negative amber to give them a slightly wider wheelbase and to have better cornering ability.
I don't know anything about onsets, but offset refers to the amount that your wheel comes away horizontally from the car, giving it a slightly wider wheelbase. The higher the number (ie: +54), the closer you wheel is to the center of your car, or the more you wheels sink into the car. More "aggressive" fitments (ie: +15) make the wheel stick out more, and usually look better, especially when the wheels are flush withthebody of the car.
