Wheel Offsets

Ok need soem help understanding wheel offsets. Internet explanations i find provide bad explanations for me and really need laymans terms. I know for a fact my buddy is running some Diamo 18's on his 05 f250 with no lift or suspension mods....but it says this wheel has a 10mm offset. The tire dealer told me I couldnt run these wheels because off sets are made for lifted trucks but provided no explantion as to what happens when u stick it on a stock height truck. So....anywaone care to enlighten me as to what an offset is and why its important?

next....what backspacing should I be looking for on an 04 ex to move up to an 18 or 20 in rim? not really looking to lift....plan on doing v/b spring install.

Also whats the deal with hub centric? Most wheels I find are not hub centric so what gives?
