What exactly Is offset?

I plan on going with Konig Imagines 17x7 Front and 18x8.5 Rear. This Is for a FC.

For the 17x7 the offset Is 40.
For the 18x8.5 the offset can be choosen as 18 or 38.

Which should I choose for the offset of the rear rims?
I have no choice for the front offset of 40, seeing how that Is the only option.

How does offset pertain to rims? Any pointers to my suggested setup?

*EDIT* I'll be running this with: 215/45/17 - Front
245/35/18 - Rear

I don't know what the correct offsets are for those sizes for the FC. Ask Rishie, as that he has one or two FCs.

Thanks for the link Answered my question...

As for the offset, the orgin began In a recent thread. https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=133194

I hope Rishie comes around. I trust his Input...considering he helped me establish my rim size selection to begin with.
