It should be located on the back of the wheels, somewhere near the lug holes.

if there are no stickers, you can use a ruler to measure

To calculate offset you'll need the following measurements:

*Wheel backspace
*Wheel Width
*Wheel Center line (outboard flange to inboard flange measurement / 2)

Subtract:

Wheel center line from Wheel backspace to get offset.

*If backspace is less than the wheel centerline the offset is negative
*If backspace is greater than the wheel centerline the offset is positive
