Question Wheel Options for F1 with '68 F100 9" Rear End?

I am hoping somebody can help me here. I am putting a stock 1968 Ford F100 9"rear axle on my 1950 Ford F1 and I am trying to figure out what wheels I shouldorder. It is pretty confusing with theoffsets, etc., but I am hoping to go with 15" Vintiques wheels and I wouldlike something fairly wide - like 8" to 10" or so.
Any help would be appreciated. thanks!

I have 8x15 steelies on the back of my '52 F-1....they have the stock backspacing, 3.5-4"......whatever it is. My wheels are custom made though, so will look a little different than the aftermarket ones...

This is what I am planning on using on the rear of my 52 with a 68 9". From everything I have measured they should fit just fine with 245 or 255 series tires.

Cool truck, Tinman52. I am looking at the same rims, Rimrock F1. This is what I am replacing:
15 x 12 Cragar Super Trick wheels mated to Mickey Thompson 29 x 18.50-15LT Sportsman
tires. The existing axle is 55" wide to accommodate these puppies.
