Wheel offset question
Can anyone tell me the correct way to measure wheel offset. I'm going to swap meets soon looking for wheels for my '92. I know the correct offset is 56mm dont want to buy wheels I cant use. Any input would be great!!

Summary:
Measure distance from wheel inside edge to wheel mounting surface then subtract half of your wheel width.
