Rims
okay been looking a set of rims for my 97, found a nice looking set of rims on evilbay 16x8 rebel racing wheels they were the 5x135 but the compatibility thang said they would not fit the 97 f-150 4x4 xlt... am i wrong by thanking that they are 5 on 135?
also any suggestions on were to find decent looking 16" rims that wont break the bank?

The Guys in the 97-03 forum finally came around and answered and like i thought it is 5 on 135 just mine has 12mm studs and these new ****s got the lug nuts with the washer that hold the rim right instead of the old tappered style lug nut

Correct...
a positive offset would make the rims stick out farther from the rims centerline. Negative would make the rim sit a little more under the truck.
6mm is roughly 1/4" which I dont think will matter one way or the other.

in other words a -25 would set a inch closer to the frame rails than a 0 offset would?
and then a 25 offset would set roughly a inch farther out the fender wheels than a 0 would?
if so....
this calculator is showing the exact opposite...

Well, than, kris is backwards....
I explained it right, - offset moves the wheel mounting surface closer to the back of the rim(sticks out the fender more) and+ moves it to the front side to the rim (closer to the frame)
