centering new rim on old rear hub

Yesterday 09:15

Hello, I'm replacing the rim on a spoked rear wheel for a KZ650. I've got it laced up but how do I determine the axial position of the rim relative to the hub? Is there some measurement I need to take to set it at the correct spot? Just looking at it right now it seems to be centered over the two flanges with the spoke holes on the hub, but I don't know if it's supposed to be dished in either direction. Can someone direct me to a website or provide other information so I can get this right? Obviously, the rim has to be on the centerline of the bike, so this is important. Thanks!
