Am I correct that if he went with a 10.5 inch rim, the offset would be ET29, or am I just as lost as before? I'm trying to get this offset thing worked out. Is it related to the Latin language by any chance?

ET is a German acronym and is short for "EinpressTiefe" or translated directly to English: "Press depth".

It's basically the distance between the centerline of the wheel and the (hub) mounting plane of the wheel.
