Wheel Help!

Hey guys, I need some help. I know very little about wheels. I am in the process of fixing up a 82 4wd pickup. The steel rims on my truck are looking a little rough. I want to replace them with some bullet holes. My truck is stock and I want to keep my existing tires (235 75 15). I drive my truck to work a few times a week. I run a greenhouse operation and have to make it in to work regardless of weather.

What offset can I run? I know the lug pattern is 6x5.5 but the offset has me all sorts of confused.

I am currently looking at the ion 71 style rim. I want to get them under $100

Thanks!

I have Ion Style 171 wheels (Polished Aluminum, 15"x8", -27mm offset, 3.43" backspacing, 108mm center bore) with Falken Wildpeak 31"x10.5" R15 tires. Great economical wheel and tire setup with no clearance or rubbing issues. Here are some pics for you:

Good choice! I looked at MT Classic III wheels also. Pretty much the same thing as my Ions, just more money.

I got really lucky. I was able to get them for a steal on eBay.
