oldcorollas, offset is the distance between the centreline of the rim to the hub mounting face, you can calculate bacspace from offset if you know the width of the rim (has to be measured as it wont be 6 inch or whatever.)
and for some information, i trial fitted some 15 by 6.5 inch -20 offset wheels to my sprinter, and they came too close to the struts for my liking, so i wouldn't go any closer than that.
the wheels i'm using at the moment are 14 by 6 inch -10 offset, positive offset wheels are fairly rare from what i can tell.

yar yar, which is why i was asking if he worked it out right..
you say -20 offset is too close.. he's saying +35 to +40 fit.. which sounded (to me) like twice the measurement it should be 
ie just measured... not calculated...
and just so we are on the same page..
according to yokohama, most wheeels (ie FWD) and positive offset.. in fact most wheels are positive offset. my corolla rims 90mm backspace on 6"rim = +15 offset.
FWD/AWD are very offset, my new rims are +40 offset.
8" with +40 offset is... 200mm/2 + 40... 140mm backspace..
8" with +20 offset is... 200mm/2 + 20... 120mm backspace
6" with -10 offset is... 150mm/2 -10. 65mm backspace
6" with +10 offset is " " +10 = 85mm
6.5" with -20 is 61mm backspace (should have fit better)
6.5" with +20 is 101mm backspace..
80-100mm seems more like a normal amunt of backspace for that era car.... 60 sound stoo low.. 140 sounds too high...
anyone care to check their measurements based on the yokohama pic above??
