Question Swapping out Rims for the winter

I have a 2011 lariet limited with 22" rims that i want to swap out with some 17" rims off a 2008 f 150, to put some snow tires on for the winter months.The rims on my new f150 are to nice to run all winter with road salt and cinders. the comparison i did on line matches up except the center bore and the off set. the 2011 center bore is 96.9 and the 2008 are 97 and the off set for the 2011 is 25 to 38 and the 2008 is 18 to 45. My question is will these rims match up to my truck with out any problems. The 17 inch wheels already have censors in them. I know they will need to be matched up to my truck. The other question is how large can i go on the17 inch rims without problems? Anybody out there able to help to help me out

They should bolt on just fine imo. That little bit of offset difference won't stop them from bolting on, just maybe cause a slight rub at full turn lock if you have bigger than factory size tires on.

Oh and if you get the ford 17's you will need new lug nuts for the centre caps to go on
