In the end it's a balance of tire width and wheel offset, assuming of course the wheel widths are correct for the tire widths. Think of it as how much room you have in the wheel well between the suspension on the inner side and fender sheet metal on the outside. Your tire needs to not hit either of those. If the tire is somewhat narrow you have a lot of play with offset to keep it inside those boundaries. The wider you go the more the offset has to be perfect to keep it between those two. Make sense?

Actually that explains it better than most things I've read. Though now I'm picturing narrow tires just moving around on the axle as I drive.
