Wheel Fitment Calculator
I didn't create it, and I no longer remember who did, but this is a handy spreadsheet that graphically demonstrates the effect of changing offset. It also calculates a bunch of other cool stuff like change in speedo readings for various tire size changes, etc
Edit - Duh, the author is right on the spreasheet!
