Anyone hazard a guess on the offset of these Konigs?
#3
1. determine the rim width between inner and our flanges
2. measure the distance from the back edge of the rim to the hub face and subtract half inch for the actual rim flange width. Measure it in several places with calipers and average to get good thickness. Thats the back space
3. Subtract half the rim width inside the flanges from the back space; thats the offset, which is the difference between the wheel centerline and the hub face. If the backspace is greater than the wheel centerline the wheel is 'offset' to the inside of the vehicle. If its less that the distance to the wheel centerline its offset to the outside of the vehicle. If you measured in english units, aka inches in decimal units, multiply the measurement difference by 25.4 to get mm.
good luck.

Just in case, measure the offset or check the backside of spokes. Beides other wheel specs, you're likely to find a number like 38 on the backside of one spoke that indicares the offset designed. It is not unheard of for people to machine the hub face of wheels to increase the offset so you may be careful to actually measure the offset.

I have checked the back of the wheels as well. There are many numbers etc but none that look like an offset number.
The fellow selling these says I can try them. He is only 10 minutes away from me. Maybe next weekend when it is dry. I need to take my floor jack as he did not have one.

Thak you both. I am inclined to go with jmsplitfyre with 38 offset. Thank you for the detailed explanation mahout.

As far as 32 mm offset is concerned perhaps the recommendation for that offset should be accompanied by the tire size. Its the tire that rubs, not the wheel. Worse, anytime you hear 'hardly rubs' get real careful.. We recommend a minimum of 40 mm here based on experience telling propective customers they have to buy new wheels or smaller tires.
Or stiffer springs, especially if its lowering ones.
good luck.

The many numbers are the bolt circle (4x100), style, mfg code as well as a 2 digit number, perhaps following a letter, which is the offset.

>>> Tires on these rims are 205/55/15 and on a GE not GD which may make a difference as well.
