You know, I was also confused about this as well. I know that the lower the offset #, the more the wheel will stick out towards/past the fender.
However...
Here is a diagram, which appears to be opposite of what everyone is saying. I bet I'm looking at this wrong, but according to this diagram, the larger the positive offset, the more the wheel will stick out.

I agree it does seem backwards at first. I found the best way to visualize it is in relation to the orange line in your diagram on the far right. Instead of thinking of the orange line moving in or out as the offset changes, think instead of the orange line or inner part of the rim being fixed in place. In order to have a lower offset (for instance from 43mm to 38mm) the center-line of the wheel (larger dotted line) would have to come closer to the orange line hence moving the center-line of the rim to the right or towards the outside of the car.

Having an offset of et38 helps you out a lot in being rub-free w/ those 255s.
