How do I find out the offset of the custom wheels on my car?

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
