It should be stamped or moulded into the back rather than painted.
The offset is the distance between the centre line of the wheel and the face that contacts the hub. Probably not that easy to measure with household tools.

The wheel will fit as the offset just determines how the wheel sits within the arch. If you use too low an offset, say ET38, then the wheel will stick out beyond the arch. If it's too high, say ET52, then it will sit further in.
If your car is lowered and the wheels have too low and offset then you will run into problems with the wheels ribbing on the arch.

just fitted them to the back of my corsa fit nice but they are just a tad wide and my car is low so it will rub your arch if your car is low, but if not then let me no if you want them here is some pics
