Default How to find out offsets

hey guys really need help im in a jam. how do i find out the offset of my rims? please be exact. is it as simple as measuring it from where the spokes meet the inside of the rim to the outside of the lip. i have the volk gt-7's so it is a 2 piece rim. also how many mm are in an inch? i measured already and it was 3 3/4 inches which i believe would make it a +30 offset. correct me if im wrong thnx in advance

look on the back of the wheel in between the lug holes. It should say the size and offset right under the size.

I wish it was that simple. Offset is the distance between the physical center of the wheel and mounting surface.
