Wheel Offset
I am looking to replace the 16.5" rims with 16's on my '67 F250. I called a few local junkyards and they all asked for the wheel offset for for compatibility with the current rims. I know what "wheel offset" means, but does anyone know what wheel offset I am going to have to look for in the 16" rims I am looking for. . . .anyone. . .Bueller....Bueller? Thanks!

You can read a ruler or a tape measure can't you? Take a straight edge and put it across the rim edges on the back side of the wheel. Take your measuring device and measure from the edge of the straight edge down to the flat mounting flange where the wheel stud holes are. This dimension is your back space. And here is the official 8 lug wheel list straight from Number Dummy:
8 lug wheels on a 6.50" bolt circle:
1948/52 F2/F3 / 1953/98 F250 / 1967/98 F350 / 1969/74 E300 / 1975/2013 E250/350.
Quite a few wheels to choose from.

Knowledge can be shared and most people are willing to share, however with an attitude like yours, most will not be eager to help.
As it was explained to you on how to measure back space, you must do this for yourself. If you want someone to come over and do this for you good luck.
As the old saying goes, "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink."
If not being able to measure the back space with the information given, I suggest you sell the truck and stay with your modern toys, old vehicles are not for you.
