nope
There are only very few car models that use positive offset wheels and because of that we genarally don't speak of positive or negative offset we just assume that all wheels are negative offset and if not it's indicated with a +
Most cars (including A4's) use negative offset wheels and that is why a ET45 wheel (45mm from ET0) sits deeper in the wheel-well then a ET35 wheel (35mm from ET0) assuming they are the same width.

Uh... I think you're confused between positive and negative offset.
Positive= Centerline and closer to the outer face.
Negative= Centerline and farther away from the the face.

Negative on the left, positive on the right.
Negative offset is going to push the wheel further out, positive offset is going to pull the wheel back in. Aside from deep dish wheels, I would say a majority of wheels today are + offset.
