Wheel offset Question

I am going to buy rims for my 94.5 F250. They have 8x6.50 with different offsets. Example -5 and -11 offsets. Which one is the right one for my truck and what does this mean? Thanks,

jlegg007, the only thing I know forsure is that super duty wheels will not fit the bolt pattern. 97 down to somewhere in the 50's will fit. good luck

Single wheel and I know 98 and older take the 6.5 bolt pattern

Just wondering what this offset means before I call and order.

I'm not sure but I'll guess it means minus 5MM or 11MM from stock. Here's a link:
