Rim question

I've got a 71 F250 crew cab short bed with a 79 D60 HP and 90 Sterling 10.25. My question is, I'd like to run the military 16.5 12 or 24 bolt humvee rims but I'm not sure how much of a spacer id need for them. Does anyone have them on their truck or any idea how much of a spacer id need? Any help would be great thanks.

Before you do this, check price and availability on 16.5 rubber.
