Guess the offset...
Anyone that has a good eye for how different wheel offsets look on the Zs want to help me out? Here is a picture of how my rear rim sits at stock ride height with no camber adjustment. When the car is lowered, the fenders had to be cut (when cut it left about 3mms between the tire and fender). I am running 275-35-19 Bridgestone Potenza REs. The reason I ask is that JLine doesn't release offsets and I'm super curious. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you want to know the offset, you can just measure it - it's the distance (in mm) from the centerline of the wheel to the mounting surface (where the wheel bolts to the hub)

Z1: Thanks for the link. I actually took a look at it before but have just been too busy to get out to my car and measure (I don't drive it often and work/life > me). Maybe I'll try to get to it tonight...
Everyone: Sorry. The wheel is 19x11. I don't have any pictures from above. I could take one, but I need someone to tell me how far the lip of the fender is from the pavement on a stock suspension so I can readjust for the picture.

It's also highly-likely that the offset is stamped inside the wheel in on the back of one of the spokes or there is a sticker that says the wheel size and offset. That's pretty common.

Yeah, I'm going to measure it tonight when I get home. I just need to finally make the time. As far as the stamp/sticker... JLine doesn't do either. They're actually known for not disclosing offsets. You either tell them it is for a (x) car and they have their own optimal offset they use/don't disclose or you order with a custom offset. These were ordered the former way. I'll report the findings back.
