98 B3000 p'up wheels will NOT fit 2002 P5 correct?

Sorry I should rephrase that. Looking at some used aftermarket wheels that DID fit on a 98 B3000. The seller seems unable to offer ANY other specs & lives pretty far from me.

If it fit on a B3000, the offset must be too low yeah? I see 15-25mm offset online:

It's really hard to say, since you can cram a variety of wheels on a pickup. The fenders are usually bigger.

The best thing to do is flip one of the wheels upside down, place a straight edge across the inside lip, and measure the distance between it and the area where the wheel meets the hub. You'll also need to know the width of the wheel. The offset can be calculated with those measurements, anything else is just speculation.

If the seller won't take a minute to do that, he doesn't want to sell them very badly.

Thanks MrGiggles....thats a great response. I didn't think about pups having larger fenders typically!
