Default Off set question

I have a set of Enkie wheels on my car that where on it when I purchased 6 years ago. They are 18 x 8.5 all around. Since I did not buy them I do not know the offset and wanted to see if there is anything on the rim that would tell me. Im looking into a BBK at some point over the next 6 t o8 months and this will be crucial to my brake purchase and I dont want to justgo on my purchase of new brakes using a paper template to see if new Rotors adn calipers might fit

Look on the back of the rim, or see if there are any stickers on the barrels.

you can measure the backspace (google "how to measure backspace" or "how to measure offset") and then calculate the offset, I've done this before it's pretty easy.
