It's easy to measure and work out Les, here's how:
1. Place the wheel face down on a flat level surface. You can do it with either the tyre on or off, it won't make a difference to the final offset reading.
2. Place a straight edge over the back of the wheel so you can measure the total height from the ground in mm. Take that total distance figure and divide by 2 to get the distance from the back of the wheel to the true middle of the wheel.
3. Measure to the mounting face of the wheel in mm. Subtract the middle measurement number from the actual face number, and that will be your offset in mm.

The commentary is above, read the three easy steps! By using the picture method you'll also have an error with the wheel weight lip as the string has been pushed below it on both sides, make sure you measure and fit to the outermost edge of the rim.

i doubt it
nothing wrong with double checking to see if you're purchasing the right product for your needs
and if they object
tell them to fuck off or they'll be losing business 
funny at how fast people let you measure things to your hearts content when you say stuff like that
