hub centric rims?

Ok as some of you may know I'm looking at an 01 Ex that is lifted 4" and has 35x12.50 tires. I've been reading and it seems these trucks came with 16" rims stock. The Ex I'm looking at uses 16.5. I'm wandering if these rims are safe to use since I don't know if they are hub centric. Are the stock wheels hub centric? I know they make the 16.5 in 8 on 170 lug patern but how can I tell if these rims are the right type for the EX. The dealer is willing to put brand new 35's on it as they put offroad wheels and tires on 4x4's anyway. I just want to know if I should have them replace the rims AND tires?

Stock wheels are hub-centric.

Pull a lug off the wheels to see if it flat on the bottom. Flat = hub-centric / Tapered = lug centric.

I've had "lug centric" 16x8 rims on my '01 for the past two & a half years with no problems whatsoever. Has a test-drive shown any vibration? If not, then don't sweat it.
