Hey guys. I'm considering upgrading to a 5.5 inch wide wheel. THe

Check the intro paragraphs to the Brakes & Wheels chapter in your Bentley manual. It will list the offset by year and model.
Alternatively, it will be stamped on your wheel center disk between 2 lug bolts. Look for something like: ET36, which would mean 36mm.
Check all of your wheels, by now they are probably mixed.
