Shadow85, I'm not a big wheel guy, but here is my 2 cents....

In plain English, offset dictates how sunken the wheel is into the wheel well.

Offset is an important criterion in choosing wheels. Offset greatly changes the look (or stance) of the car, which is many times why we buy aftermarket wheels in the first place. Offset is needed to determine brake caliper clearance. Also, offset sometimes can dictate the width of tires and rims that can be used.
