Measuring offset

[Zilli]

Hey all,

I got some old school steel Weld wheels at home, and im unsure of the ofset on them... does anyone know exactly how tthis is measured? the stampings dont have any indication of the offset at all as far as i can tell...

a rough idea -

take the bare rim , place a totally FLAT item across the BACK or the rim (such as a post , large ruler etc) and then measure the distance from hub point to lip end = X
measure the rim width = Y then subtract X from Y....=Z The difference between Z and X is the offset in mm
