What on earth is my offset?

Audi rs6 17inch baby wheels? I have 35mm all round and was wanting to put 40mm just on the back? Would that cause an issue or look stupid ie slope would occur?

(ps I know it a dumb question!)

Most of the 17" RS6 reps are 35mm offset.

40 offset is too high and may rub on the inner arch and shock if it is lowered
