Default offset help?

Can someone explain how the offset works I want new rims but want to move the wheel in a bit due to rubbing. So do I get a larger numbered offset or smaller?
Thanks

Given a fixed wheel width, The higher the ET(o/s) the further inboard the wheel sits.

Wheel width also affects how they sit, given a fixed ET, a wider wheel will have 1/2 the extra width inboard and 1/2 outboard

Check out this site: http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp It's a nice visual of offset and allows you to compare two different wheel setups.
