You might need to get your hands dirty,

https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html

IIRC, the letters after the size stamped on the wheel also will give you that info, but IDK where to find the definitions.
Identification
Modern wheels usually indicate the size, width and offset of each wheel on the rear, either on the mounting surface or on the back of the wheel face. Offset is denoted by "ET" followed by the measurement. "ET" stands for " Einpreßtiefe," which Systran translates to "insertion depth." On the example wheel from earlier, the back should say "17x7 ET 38."
I can't ever recall seeing that on a wheel.

Then there is this fail of a link: http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com ... erence.cfm

But I think this will get you what you want:

GRAND CARAVAN, CARAVAN LE 87-on

15 X 6 5X114.3 12mmX1.5 71.5 H

17" Charger steelies look damn good on a Caravan. And the offset on them pushes them out just enough. If you use the stock Charger tire size the Caravan will look like it is ready to go off roading :lol:

I put a set on my buddies '96

I didn't get any pics when we installed them, but I should be seeing the van again soon. I'll see if I can get some.
