Cool Wheel offset??

I will post pics at a later date of my 1965 Delta 88, 2 door coupe. Straight and complete it spent a lot of time under cover and not driven, so it has almost no rust and the vinyl dash looks brand new. I have pulled all the chrome and s/s in preperation to walnut blast.
I am preparing to purchase old school foose wheels and I do not know what offset will fit under these huge wheel wells. If anyone has input please post!

Welcome to the best Oldsmobile site. What kind of wheels do you have on the car now? Post pictures when you are able.

You want wheels with as close to zero offset as possible. Now, if you are pushing the limits of the wheelwells, you might want to add a little offset one way or the other, but you can't tell that without actually measuring the wheel well. The stock wheels are zero offset.
