Yep, backspacing would be different as would off set on the same size wheel for a 99-04 vs. 05-08.
For a 99-04, you want to stick around 4.5" Back Space. So, if it's a 10" wide wheel you are looking at it's a -25mm offset.

You know your wheels !!!! Its a 16" X 8" rim.. I think there isn't much difference in that width of rim for back spacing is there ????

Right 16s will only fit a 99-04
16x8 with 4.5" Back Space would be 0 offset.
Here's a link with specs and a chart to help figure out offset and backspace with different widths of wheels:

I been looking into wheels myself. I was thinking of going with a 16x9 with 315/75's. The last set of wheels I found was on ebay and the guy said they didnt make center caps with the cut outs for manual hubs,for them. He said they just popped off easy to lock/unlock them. Didnt like that idea so my search continues!

Thanks guys. I agree that that is a very helpful link to have.
Somewhat related, and another very useful link to help explains things about alignments is (normally more important when explaing caster to the 05-08 guys with lifts):

With the "G" projects I have on the burner, that info is priceless. Wheel offset was something I was unclear about.
BTW - the 99 and onward rims have a lot more clearance between them on dually rear end setups, the sidewalls of dual tires are farther apart and less likely to 'scrub' than older duallies. They are also bigger, I think (if I remember right) that they were designed for Sterling 10.25 rear axles which is why they are metric.
