Question about rims

I bought a 68 shortbed a few months ago and found some rims online that I would like to get. Im assuming the 6 lug setup that I have is how the truck came from factory? Anyway, the rims I found have the following specs:

Bolt Pattern: 6 x 5.5
Size: 17 x 8
Offset: +14 mm

Also, not familiar with the offset on rims. Looking for rims that dont stick out beyond the fender. Will the +14 mm seem to work?

Does anyone foresee a problem with this? Thanks.

all chevy six-lug wheels had the 6-5.5 bolt pattern (with the exception of the brand new ones). The backspacing on those rims seems to be a bit too positive. Unless somebody here on the board has had some experience with some like wheels or you either try 'em on or measure 'em, it's hard to tell.
