You can measure the offset on your wheels.  It is the distance between the center of the rim width of the wheel and the inside mounting surface face.  The original rally wheels were close to zero offset.

Here's a website that you can search for "wheel offset":  http://topbuzz.co.uk/

Also here's the pic you'll get.  Backspacing is the distance from the inside rim width to the mounting surface.
