Wheels for 2005+ Superduty????
I know this has been discussed a lot in various threads,but I thought it would be helpful to go over wheel basics. I am trying to decide on wheels for a 2006 superduty and have no clue on the wheel terms mean. I really like this wheel:

Don't know if they fit but BS 4.5" means:
Backspacing is a measurement from the rear edge of the rim to the mounting surface of the wheel. Those wheels have a backspacing of 4.5".
Offset: The offset of a wheel is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true centerline of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender well more. Conversely, a negative offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is behind the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This will cause the tire to stick out away from the vehicle.
With the wheels you're describing (I didn't open the link) sounds like they'll fit underneath the wheel wells.
This link may help you gain further knowledge.
It is where I got the offset definition...after I already typed my own answer which wasn't worded near as good as that one.
