You can run a wider wheel I run 7.5 and some people run 8 a positive offset means the hub is closer to the outside of the rim of the wheel negative means closer to the inside edge. Negative is usually found on extreme concave or dished rims

My rotas are 17x7.5 et45 and they stick right out to the arches any further and you would need arch extensions
