Is there any way that I can check my wheels to find out the offset?

[my98GST]

Just wondering if theres anything that I can do to measure to see what the offset is so I can know what the largest size tire is that I can run without rubbing? I bought the wheels used and he didn't tell me what it is... They are Enkei RS7's

The offset should be stamped either on the back of one of the spokes or the rear of the center section.

The offset can be measured. Place a ruler or straight piece of something across the back of the rim edges. Measure from the bottom of that piece to the back of the hub. That measurement is your offset.

If there is a 42 cast into the wheel, thats the offset.

what would be the widest tire you would suggest that I could run without worrying about rubbing?

What size are the wheels?

 

[my98GST]

17x7.5 i believe...

235-45-17 or 235-40-17 if you want something shorter. Nothing wider is going to fit the wheel very well.
