Another round of wheel questions

Hi Fellas, Any one have a nice simple way to check offset on steel truck wheels? My stock 16x6 wheels leave a lot to be desired as to durability on logging roads etc. My neighbor with a w250 CC runs a set of 16x6.5 Ford wheels and claims that the steel is thicker than the stock Dodge offering. Any of you fellas running something like these, or something else? I want to stay with a steel wheel, and use the stock hubcaps-beauty rings. Any ideas on what to look out for, and what does not work will be greatly appreciated.....I don't have a computer-but check this forum down at the library

...Thanks Greg
