lay a flat bar on the edge of the rim (not tire). take a ruler and measure from the hub..(the part where the rim sits flush w/ the brake rotor)..to the bar. that's your offset.

At least that's what I recall. I think that's right because a given rim may measure 9" across edge to edge, but really is only a 8" rim bead to bead.

Actually I think you have to measure from the inside lip of the rim, which is about where the bead rests, not the very edge of the wheel lip....
