Higher offset means the wheel will be hidden more inside the wheel well
Which wineglass rims are you referring to? The 16x7 ones which came on B5 (and some C4 I think) had an offset of ET43, not 35.

You also need to use the width of each wheel in your calculations.
Both wheel offset and wheel width will determine where the outer edge of the rim will be.<ul><li><a href="http://marksink.com/tire_wheel_offset/offset.html">Wheel offset calculator</a></li></ul>
