Essentially, offset refers to the distance between the centerline of the wheel and the rear hub mounting surface (sometimes referred to as the "back pad" ). Depending on the offset, this determines where the wheel will "sit" in the fender well. The higher the offset, the more the wheel will sit inward toward the strut. The lower the offset, the more the wheel will push out toward the fender lip. For the most part, Porsche enthusiasts who are interested in upgrading their wheels, typically look for ones that have a lower offset. This is what creates that more aggressive look or "stance". Upgrading one's wheels is all well and good. However, most do not realize how critical this application is. As well balanced and poised as the Boxster is, in my experience it is also a hypersensitive vehicle. Precise fitment is extremely crucial.
