Although I was unable to find any information on your trailer wheel offset based on the part number, you can still find this by measuring. Most trailer wheels have an offset of zero allows the wheel to handle the maximum load by distributing the the load equally to both sides of the wheel.

In order to determine if your trailer wheels have an offset, you will want to remove a wheel from your trailer and measure from the mounting surface of the wheel (where the wheel mounts to the hub) and measure to the inside bead and to the outside bead. The difference will give you the offset. If there is no difference then you have an offset of zero.
