Stock wheel/offset and tire size. 99 Eddie Bauer 5.0

Stock wheel/offset and tire size. 99 Eddie Bauer 5.0?

Admittedly have not searched yet and don't know what I have really.
My setup.
Tire size
235/75/r15 on unknown rims.

What if I wanted new rims and slightly bigger/aggressive setup?
Any suggestions?

Do we have an ultimate wheel guide on this site with pictures and offset information.

As always...thank you.

Alloy stockers can be 15x7 or 16x7. I went to stock 16x7s on my '98. They will take as big a tire as you can stuff under it stock. They don't have much offset, maybe 1/2".

Stockers are cheap and light--if you can find them. Make sure they are straight. They will take a pretty good hit and bend before they break.

As 85e150six4mtod said, stock wheel sizes are 15 x 7 or 16 x 7. Offset on both types is 1 inch. I fitted 16 x 8 zero offset alloys to my 99 fitted with 165 70 16s. They don't rub (just) and look great with no bearing probs.
