How To Find Wheel Offset?

Check the wheel’s stamped markings on the back, inside barrel, or near the hub pad

Look for an offset marking such as ET35, ET45, or +35

Measure the wheel width from bead seat to bead seat

Measure the overall wheel width from outer lip to outer lip

Find the wheel centerline by dividing the bead seat width by 2

Measure the mounting pad distance from the wheel’s inner edge to the hub-mounting surface

Subtract the centerline measurement from the mounting pad measurement

Convert the result to millimeters if needed

Use a wheel offset calculator with the width and mounting pad measurements

Compare the result to the vehicle’s recommended offset range

Check the vehicle owner’s manual or manufacturer wheel specifications

Ask a tire shop or wheel retailer to verify the offset

Use a straightedge and ruler or caliper for accurate measurement
