Place wheel with outside face against a flat wall. Place a big straight edge against inside edge and measure total width. Then with straight edge still in place measure distance to flange face. Subtract half the total width from the flange figure and that will give you the offset. Accuracy bepends on how carefully you measure it.

This might help you understand a bit more on the way Diccy explained, i always find this very useful for things like this.
