Ok if the picture confuses you, maybe you shouldn’t be attempting this.

Anything will bolt up if you have the right bolt pattern. The question is will it rub (the wheels/tires against suspension or body parts). That’s where the offset comes in.

You need to provide a lot more info. Specifically:

-car  
-tire sizes  
-suspension setup

If you are still confused, try using one of the calculators linked in the Tech library. Punch in your stock wheel/tire/offset combo, and try to match the overall diameter to whatever you are planning to run. The closer to stock diameter the better. Until you understand what you are doing, I wouldn’t try doind anything that is not very close to stock overall diameter.
