Wheel offset?
I'm thinking of putting a set of weld Rodlite wheels and new tires on my 1985 F150 2wd and was wondering if anybody knew a good offset so that your tires dont stick out past your fenders or know how to determine the offset?

To determine the "backset" you can do the following. If the rim are the same no problem and if you are going for a replacement rim with the same width. You can get the backset by removing a rim and placing it face (or outside) down and placing a straight edge across the back of the rim lip and then measure from the straight edge to the center of the rim and that is the back set.
