Offset is the position of the center hub on the wheel with respect to the entire rim. A zero offset means the hub positioned at the center of the rim.
A positive offset means that the hub is moved that many millimeters further toward the outside. A negative offset means that the hub is that many millimeters further in on the rim.
I think we can stop talking about offset now. Its just going to keep confusing people.

I will try to attempt an explanation again... um, but only when I am educated on this knowledge.

A friend of mine is selling his 2 piece work meister s1's, and I was thinking of buying them. The specs are 18x9.5 +25 all the way around with 245/35/18. Will this work with some fender rolling?

yes they will work easily. I too have a set of work meisters, but they are far more aggressive.

Thanks for the heads-up.
After discussion with a friend, here's the config we've come up with:
Front 18x8.5 +31, 235/40/R18
Rear 18x9.0 +35, 265/35/R18
How will they fit?
TIA

Please forgive if this was asked previously
I did try multiple searches on this thread to see if it came up. It probably has but I couldn't locate it, so I'm sorry for asking what I am sure was asked previously.
That being said:
OEM rims 245/40-18 F & R
I'm confident of clearance in the rear; but not 100% sure about the front. This would be a daily driver, not just a track fit. The main tyre, in case it makes a difference, that I'm considering is the Pirelli PZero Nero M&S PINNA RFT (If the tyre doesn't make a difference, I'm sorry. I wasn't attempting to threadjack.).

Searching seems to confirm that a 18x8.5 +30mm will fit the front but will it also fit the back?
18x8.5 +30 with 245/40/18 fit all four wheel wells with an Tein S-Tech drop?

Alright big question. I noticed that Rotora offers a 6 piston front big brake kit, and vivid racing says it'll fit the RX-8 http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/r...07-p-6852.html . I also noticed that there's no rear brake kit under the RX-8 category but a very similar rear brake kit exists for the FD RX-7 http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/r...2-p-21382.html . It LOOKS like it should fit, but looks can be deceiving. Also what kind of wheel (black, 18 or 19" and wider than stock) would fit this brake set up?

how about:
18x8.5 +35 Front
18x9.5 +35 Back
with 255/40/18's will they sit flush? will i need to roll?
or will 275/35/18's fit with just 18x9.5 +35? (all the way around)
oh, also the car is lowered about 1.7" in the front and 1" drop in back.
thanks in advance.
