Uh...
NO.

Bigger (larger #) the offset, the further in the wheel face is pushed out and the wheel rim (edge) sinks into the wheel well.

"Offset" is defined as the measurement in millimeters the hub mount surface / back of the wheel face is OFFSET from centerline.
Negative offset implies the wheel face is pushed in, while the wheel rim (edge) is pushed out.

A +40 offset wheel with a 15mm space is effective the same as a wheel with a +25(mm) offset.
