Quick search in Google brought this up:

You should be able to get the idea from that.

This article is a bit more in depth:

Ok I get how the lower the offset the more the wheel will stick out! But what is the lowest offset you can go with a stock body FD??? I would this

18x8.5 +30
18x9.5 +30

Will this off set sit flush with my FD???? They are Work CR-KAI wheels??? PLEASE help....
