Start by measuring the back space:

Lay the wheel face down, lay a straight edge accross the wheel, measure the distance from the back of the hub mounting plate to the straight edge. That gives you the BS in inches.

Hopefully the tires are removed, to determine the offset, measure the overall width of the wheel, divide by 2 to get the centerline, then subtract the BS, and multiply that number by 25.4 to get mm.

It's not perfect measure, but get you close enough.

If you have tires on the wheels it's very hard to determine.
