I am looking to get a set of new rims/tires, but have no idea what all the figures associated with rims actually mean.

Could someone direct me to a site that explains what the dimensions stand for as well as the definitions of some of the jargon like 'staggered', 'offset', etc.?

 

www.tirerack.com

they provide a plethora of information about all you need to know.
