Offset and Backspacing

I see so many different measurements for these 2 and I swear it gets totally mindboggling. How much effect do these play?

I'm going to guess that with some out of whack BSing, you would have more tendancy to rub in the back, and offset would have more effect towards the outer well?

Ugh, Advil here I come!

They are different measurements for the same thing. Offset is the position of the flange from the center of the wheel. Backspacing is the distance from the back of the wheel the flange.
