Hello Randy, thanks for reaching out. The offset would be measured from the center point of the wheel. For a dually wheel the best way to do that is to find the center point between the bead seats. I edited a picture to help illustrate. The # AM83NR wheel has a 5.35" offset.
I hope this helps. Hit the reply button below and let me know if there is anything else I can do.

Hey Randy, did the explanation on measuring the offset from the center point between the bead seats help you with your dual wheel trailer rims? I'm asking because it could give others confidence when measuring their own wheels.
