Exclamation New Rims

What would I need to do to my 87' F-150 to switch from a stock 15" Rim to a 16" rim?

Just make sure to get the correct wheel offset and the correct bolt pattern of 5 1/2 and 5 lug.

And make sure that the total height of the 16 tire/wheel combintion is the same as the stock wheel/tire combination--or the speedometer/odometer will be off. And the speedometer drive will have to be changed on a pre 92.
