What is offset in wheels term?

I am looking to purchase a set of new wheels for my 2005 Ford Ranger XLT. My wheel size is 15x7 5 lugs. I keep seeing this term, "offset". What is ford rangers stock offset? I don't know what offset I need. Truck is not lifted or anything, just stock.

Thank you

Seth.

Most wheels can have the center hub machined out to fit the Ranger wheel hubs, and that's a very common mod for Ranger owners to do when they want aftermarket wheels that don't fit. But you'll have to find a machine shop that is able to do it.
