the t/a is the trailing arm that the rear wheel attaches to....offset means that instead of being straight it is stepped(offset)in wards to allow a wider rim to be used...the extra width is on the side of the rim towards the diff...this is increasing the backspace.....hope this helps..john :chevy

This is an offset Trailing arm
As you can see it actually steps in towards the center of the car as opposed to moving more or less straight to the bearing.
