Default new 18 rims question s

so I want to get new 18" rims to replace my stock ones. I'll probably stick with a stock tire size.

what size rims do I need offset, back spacing to essentailly duplicate the stock set up but with diffrent rims? any one have suggestions I want black with maybe chrome accents.

so I think I'm looking at 18 x8.5 but I dont really understand how the offset plays into it? or how to tell about back spacing.

thanks

it is a 13 eco 4x4 btw

was thinking about something like this

http://liquidmetalwheel.com/wheel.cfm?id=507#

i also know nothing about wheel MFG's who is good quality, durability, ect

i have 30k on the stock set i drive alot since i bought the truck less than a year ago.

my goal is to have a set picked out for when it is time to get new tires.

There is a great fitment guide at the beginning of this thread:
https://www.f150forum.com/f38/tire-w...9-newer-68155/

It is a PDF attachment, gives you an idea of what people have done and what fits. It will also tell you what the stock wheel sizes, backspacing, etc... are.
