Phat, the 40 sticks out further. Offset is BEHIND the wheel axis or hub...offset to the center of the car. You prolly want offset wheels around 32-36 offset range.
Stupid ? about wheel offsets
OK, if one wheel has a 45mm offset and another has a 40mm offset, which one would "stick out" of the fenderwell the furthest? I always get confused on this.

Does the smaller number mean the rim sticks out further (thus allowing you to run a wider wheel), or is it the other way around?

That's what I figured, but I wanted to make sure before I started ordering new rimz.
I'm thinking 13X5 wire wheels in a 10-15mm offset.
