Personally, I have only ever heard 'wide of the mark'. However, as 'wide off the mark' also makes sense, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that some people say this, too

The correct answer would be wide of the mark. Off would be used in sentences such as the following I switched the TV off. The child jumped off the swing Hope this helps
