Post ??rim size??

I finally recieved the rims for my slicks today.
I went with the spare rims from the dealer but I think they are the wrong ones.
They measure 18.5" tall. If I remember right that is a 17" wheel not a 16", right?
Now if these are the wrong ones can I go with the wide five star rims that go on the 00' f-150's. They are 16's but are they 14mm or 12mm? I have MT ET streets 26x10.5. Thankyou for anyones help.

I dunno how much of my input will help you but...I got earlier this week the 16x7 styled steel wheel from a XL F150. Had the MT ET 26-11.5-16 streets mounted the other day. Went to Lebanon dragway today and was able to launch at 2k rpm......NO slip at all.

2k thats great.......
Okay whats the hieght of that wheel?
See, if I remember right the 99's have 12mm lugs and the 00's have 14mm lugs. So that rim will not work for me.
Does anyone know of a rim that I can go pick up that will work????????????
