| So if i move from a 34+mm offset ot a 20+mm offset does it push the wheels in or out more? |

the lip of the rim will be out more in a sense.
a postive offset means the hub/bolt part of the rim is closer to the outside of the rim by so many mm.
a negative offset means the mounting part of the rim is closer to your suspension which means you will have more lip.:)
But you need alot of fender to have a low offset and a wide rim. |

0 offset means the mounting surface of the wheel sits directly in the centre of the wheel. Positive offset means the mounting surface moves outward towards the outside (lip) of the wheel. Negative is the opposite. Negative offset wheels are the way to go if you're looking for dish ... or more negative anyhow.
In this case, negative is a good thing! |

Personally I like dealing with backspacing rather than trying to figure out offsets. The thing is, backspacing is a constant measurement, and you can take measurements between your mounting hub surface and springs. I am just getting done with the headache of my front wheels...
Size of lip that your rim is going to have is really easy as well when using backspacing. For instance, 17x10 rim, with about 4.5" backspacing will have a 4.5"-5.0" lip. |

Well you are moving the rim 15mm outwards if you do that. Using the original wheels see if there will be any fender rubbing if the wheel/tire was 15mm further outwards from the hub. |
