Offset is the distance from the hub to centre off wheel (that right yeah )

Corsa off set is et45-49.

The smaller the offset the more the wheels will stick out.thats why it is always best to stick to et 45-49 for the corsa so you get less scrubbage on arches.

offet is the distance between the boltface & the centre line of the alloy

your wheel is et45, which means the boltface sits 45mm infront of the centreline of the alloy

this pic illustrates it
