Slope many times the offset is part of code stamped on the back of a wheel? Have you checked out that angle?

Example: The code on the back of this Mercedes wheel shows an offset of 25MM.....

The size / offset will be stamped if they are genuine BBS wheels - similar to the pic RickM posted. If they are BBS-RS 3-piece, the stamping is on the outside hub around the stud holes.

Usually multi piece wheels do not have the o/s information on them.

This diagram shows the necessary measurements


o/s = backspace - (overall rim width/2)

Okay, while we are here, does anyone know what the offset should be for a 7" Fuchs on the rear of a 911 R?
