Identify Front/Rear Wheels (offset) from exterior?
I took all four wheels off to ceramic coat them inside and out. I only looked at the tire size and didn't realize the front and rears have different offset, so there is a possibility I might be driving with the wrong wheel setup. Is there a way to tell without having to take the wheels off and maybe I got lucky putting them back on?

Go here to confirm the ET (offset figures) for front vs back:

Cheers for the mirror tip! I was a bit skeptical at first, but the spokes are far enough apart to get a mirror inside. Only had to swap one side.

That's neat trick but if OP posted pictures of the design of the wheels we can run the wheels design through MBEPC and get the offset needed, looks like that is no longer needed though as OP seems to have it figured out now.
