how do i tell my rim size?

i'm going to be ordering a set of these rims for my truck from
http://www.modbargains.com/product.a...d=Ultra_164_MW
on where it says rim size it says 15x7 15x8 and 15x10 how do i tell which one to get? I know i have a 15 inch rim stock on my truck right now but what does the 7,8, and 10 mean? which one do i buy.. thanks for the help

also how often would i have to clean these rims? i will be driving this truck in the winter which = salt all over the roads. will they carode easily?

The width. Also, check for your offset. Your stock rim is probably 15/7 or 15/8 with no offset.

i know my stock wheels was a 7. im assuming all of them are stock. if you have at least a 3 inch lift i say got with a 10. i got about 5 in the rear and 6 in the front and i have a 10 inch wheel with a 4 inch offset. even though its only got 31 10.50s it still looks mean

the offset is how far the mounting point for the rim is away from the centerline of the rim. i forget which way is which, but it has to do with how deep looking your rims are.

in theory, you could order a 7 inch rim with a particular offset and it would look like a 8 inch rim with no offset.
