welcome to the forum, please use the search function at the top right of the page

as well read through the faqs.

this subject as been beeten to death.

If you are buying rubber you do not need to know the offset of the wheel

If you are buying rims/wheels you will have more trouble finding a rim that will fit your bolt pattern than you could have ever expected

don't get a 35 offset and a 7 inch rim if you plan to do a Respeed FC front brake upgrade and try to retain the 4x114.3 pattern

The Konig Rewinds are +20mm offset. Here is a Link to where it was discussed:
