Offset rule of thumb
Okay, lets settle this once and for all.
Generally speaking, lower offsets result in one of two things:
-a more concave look with a maybe a bit more lip, mostly on monoblock wheels.
-a bigger lip and "deeper dish" look, mostly on multipiece wheels.
Also, go with at least +25 for the right look; furthermore, going lower than +15 will most likely require fender/quarter panel rolling. Correct me if I'm wrong anywhere in this post...

Lower offsets, in and off themselves result in one thing - the wheel sitting further outboard than a wheel with a higher offset. Nothing more, nothing less.
Offset, width, and rideheight are what makes or breaks the setup. There are no rules for offset, since it is totally dependant on these other factors. As far as fender rolling, again, completely dependant on the same above factors.
