You got it: on car rims, offset refers to the distance between the rim's centerline and its hub face. So, for example, a rim with a zero offset will have its hub face exactly on the centerline. A "positive" offset refers to a hub face that lies closer to the *outside* of the rim; a "negative" offset is just the opposite. Typically, FWD cars use a positive offset while RWD cars use a negative one.
Aeros don't work because they stick out 1 inch and the rear axle isn't exactly centered in the wheel arch.
