Correct me if im wrong anyone, but i think the OFFset is how far the wheels stick out. Too much and your euro will Scrub out on the side of ur arches.
Im Unsure about this though and would like to know myself! :thumb:

To answer your question, the ET35 wheel will stick out further than the ET42 wheel but you may need to modify your arches. ET42 is a "better" fit.

the lower the number the further out the stick.

the number is how many MM off the centre line of the wheel, the hub sits.
