A nice diagram explaining wheel offset

For more information on what all the wheel and tyre sizes mean, take a look here Chris Longhurst's Wheel and Tyre Bible

This is a good little wheel offset calculator

And here's a huge list of different car and manufacturer wheel sizes that you can use to see what might fit on your Corrado!
