Difference in rim offset front to back?

Hey everyone, I'm looking to get new rims on my 92 RS and I have a quick question... I'm looking online and you obviously enter your car make model year and they bring up all the rims. Not these specs are all varying and according to their customer service, any rims they show you, will fit the car. When I went to rotate my tires the first time having the car, we found out you can't. The front tires wouldn't rotate to the rear because they wouldn't spin for some reason. I want to make sure I can use one size all around before I buy them, I currently have 16" stock rims on it but the rims that I have picked out are: WHEEL SIZE 15X8, BOLT PATTERN 5X120.7mm (

4.5" of backspacing front and rear works.
Factory rear wheels have 5.125 and hit in the front and make them not turn
