Offset
I am looking to get a set of wheels for my 1971 F250. I purchased the truck last weekend and it has the original 16.5x9.5 on the front and some giant tires on back. I am new to all of this and wondering what offset I would want in a 16x8 wheel? What tire size on a 16x8 wheel would keep ride height closest to stock? Thanks.

Re: Offset
Just found a great deal on Craigslist so went out and bought a new set of American Eagle 058's. They are 16x8 with -11mm offset. What size tires would I need to match the original of 9.5x16.5? I have seen talk of 215/75r16 to match a 15.5. Thanks for the help.

Guy at America's Tire said LT235/85R16. Seems big to me.
