According to the 1995 MAST Fitment Guide published by Michelin North
America,
"When the mounting face is toward the wheel's streetside, the wheel
has POSITIVE offset. Negative offset occurs when the mounting face is
closer to the brake side of the wheel."
Therefore, the lowriders have NEGATIVE offset and our Audis have
POSITIVE offset. With all of the wheel discussions here we should be
carefull that the terminoligy is common and correct. Do you have a
different source that states the opposite??
