look on the inside of the wheel and there should be a stamp with something like "ET38".

its normally on the inside of a spoke and am sure the offset for a fiesta is 38

hope this helps

Have a look on the mounting face of the wheel or the back of the spokes for a couple of numbers starting ET or +, thats the offset.

Have you any pics of the wheels? Get some detailed close ups of the mounting face, and every stamped mark on the wheels. I'll guess they're about ET40.

i think if you measure from the hub face to the inner edge of the rim, then if you can measure the width of the rim then half that figure, then minus the figure you had off the hub to edge of rim

i think that is how you get the et
