Offset is explained here http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/offset.htm The SHO generally requires 38-42mm offset.
You can use any diameter wheel you want from 15-20", it all depends on what you are after. Looks, handling, ride comfort, etc. 17's seem to be a good comprimise. 17" wheels and tires are coming down in price and you can fit almost any aftermarket brake kit behind them. The ride will be silghtly harsher but not too bad.
Wheel width depends on your choice of tire width. A 7" rim whould be OK with 225mm tires, anything wider and you should step up to 8".

Would a 17x8 fit on a gen 1 without fender adjustment?
