That information is often hard to find. REmoving a wheel and measuring
may be your fastest route. Most OEM wheels are zero offset or very
close to zero, unless you have unusually wide wheels. However, I don't
know with certainty that this is true for the Elantra.

Checking on Tire Rack (http://www.tirerack.com) shows an offset of +42mm -
+48mm for the aftermarket wheels they are offering for the '06 Elantra.
Once could generally assume that it is probably in the neighborhood of +
45mm from the factory.

Matt,
Most front-wheel drive cars have positive offsets. Thus, I would
expect the Elantra would as well. I think you're right - removing the
wheel and taking the measurement is probably the best idea.
Here's an interesting link on offset:

Don, go or call ANY tire shop and they can tell you what the offset is and
it will only take them 2 secs.

I haven't looked closely at my Elantra wheels, but it's not uncommon to
have the diameter, width and offset cast into the inside of the wheel.
