Let me try to explain OFF SET. Take a rim 7"wide. The center if the rim would be Zero, no OFF SET. That means you have 3.5" of rim on each side of the center. If you move the mounting hub of the rim outward away from center that would be (+). If you moved the hub inward that would be (-). So moving the hub +42mm of the rim outward from center which is about 1 5/8" you now have 1 7/8" on the outer side of center and 5 1/8" on the inward side of center.

From my own measuring I figure you can safely go 5 3/4" of inset from center on the 3rd gen Altima. You could go 6" depending on the tire size.
