Stock offset is 55mm
Center bore is 64.1mm

Offset is how far the the wheel mounts off the center of the rim. So, 55mm positive offset is 55mm out from the exact center of the wheel. Look at these examples, let's say the first example is 0 offest, the mounting point ("I") is in the middle of the wheel [ I ]
This second picture shows a positive offset wheel (like the TSX) [ I], the mounting point ("I") is moved 55mm towards the outside of the wheel. Get it?

Center bore is just that, how big the hole in the center of the wheel is made. Honda's have a lip on the hub the stock wheels rest on/around. It's size is 64.1mm in diameter.
