The offset is the distance from the wheel hub mounting surface to the wheel centerline. A smaller number means the outer wheel edge sits further out. In switching from a 32 offset to 22 like wook is doing, you're effectively widening the front track width by 20mm by pushing the wheel centerlines outwards on each side by 10mm (the 1LE package does this).
As for your next mods, I'd go suspension and brakes to match a new wheel/tire combo. The LT's FE3 1LE setup can be pieced together pretty cheap by grabbing stock SS takeoffs. The difference between the stock FE2 versus the upgraded FE3 was night and day. Handling, acceleration, braking, everything was improved. I'd hold off on the brakes until after new tires. It's way too easy to exceed the all-season's grip threshold and engage ABS with the upgraded rotors and Brembos.
If you plan on tracking at a road course I'd upgrade your manual trans fluid too. I hit 280/290* pretty regularly on track during the summer.
