Wheel help, please!
Ok, so I thought about buying these for my truck and replacing the center cap. These are stock on this truck. Any idea what is the offset for the stock wheels on a 1979 F100 Ranger Lariat?
Also, I think these will look decent on my truck, but maybe I'm not seeing this right. Any thoughts? Also, are there measurements I need to ask about that I'm not thinking about?
Thanks in advance.

I got the specs on the wheels:
Lug patter: 5 on 5.5", 1/2" bolt
Rim size: 16x7"
Offset: +13.97mm
Backspace: 5"

If these wheels are from this Dodge, are you sure they have a 5.50" bolt pattern using a 1/2" lug stud?
If these are metric wheels, they don't have a 5.50" bolt pattern w/a 1/2" wheel stud.
1997 was the first year that F150's came with metric wheels, so it's possible this Dodge also has metric wheels.
1977 was the first year that FoMoCo offered styled steel and aluminum wheels for F100/150's, Bronco's got 'em in 1978.
These wheels (15" 5 lug - 5.50" bolt circle - 1/2" -20 lug nut) and variations of were used thru 1996.

I think those Dodge wheels might have too much back spacing for a 7-inch wide wheel on a Dentside.

Ok, guys, where do I find the information about my oem wheels? I know it has oem disk brakes in the front. I don't know things like offset and backspacing. I understand the terms, but dont know what fits my truck. Is there a page for that?
I'm looking at buying these. I guess 8" is a good width. I'm just guessing, though.
