How can I know the offset of the wheels?

I bought used iforged wheels for my 996tt I contact couples of spacers shops, thay said in order to sell me the right ones they need the offsets and sizes of the wheels. How can I get the offset? I asked the person who sell me the wheels he doen't know the offsets.

measure half way point ("centerline") of rim width. the distance between this point and the wheel hub face is the offset figure. + if face is on pass the center line away from the car and - if pass the centerline towards the car.

Its not hard to measure. Just take a tape and measure outer lip to inner lip. Probably going to be 13" and 9.5". dead center or "0" offset will be at 6.5" and 4.75". Now measure from the face of the center of the wheel (where it mounts to the hub) to the inner lip. That gives you the backspace of each rim. Post here and the rest is easy to determine offset.
