Dren, it might be easier than you think asuming you can actually see from
the outside where the actual mounting.surface of the wheel mounts on the
car.

All you need is an accurate measurement of the distance from the outer edge
of the rim to the mounting plate. I do not know how easy it is to do on the
particular rim but it is not that difficult on a 14x6 on a NX2K.

Lay a straight and flat "anything" on the outer side of the rim and use a
simple office measure positioned vertical to it so you can measure the
distance "D" between the mounting plate and the "anything" in mm. Then
assuming "W" is the width of the rim (6.5inches ie 165.1mm) the offset would
be W/2-D.
