Question regarding wheel offset.

I have stock 18" wheels which is 18x8.5 +25mm offset front, 18x9.5 +28mm offset rear.
I would like to upgrade to 20s but before i start looking for it i need to understand the wheel offset meaning. I don't want to use spacers .Should i only consider wheels with offsets of +25mm front and +28mm rear or other offsets is acceptable ? In case that i can use other wheel offsets what are they ? More or less mm ?
Thank you in adavance.

Just dont go any higher in offset as listed above but on our cars lower offset looks good where it brings the wheels flush with the fenders.
