Here is a great picture to explain it and part of the article it came from.
Determining the actual backspacing of a wheel is easy. Since it's the distance from the mounting surface to the edge of the inboard side of the wheel, it simply needs to be measured. With the wheel facedown, rest a ruler horizontally along both edges (beads) of the wheel. Now take a tape measure and measure the distance from the ruler to the mounting pad of the wheel. That figure is your backspacing. Calculating a wheel's offset is even easier. Measure the wheel's overall width, subtract its backspace and divide by two.
