What size rims are you planning to get? The backspacing and offset depends on what the width of the rims are.

If you want the rims to stick out farther, you probably want 16x10s. The backspacing on my Eagle 589s is 4.5 inches, the same as my stock rims were. When I was shopping , I noticed almost manufacturer used the same backspacing as stock on their 8 and 10 inch wide rims. Weld was the only one I saw that offered two different backspacings. I think they offered 4.5 and 3.5 inch backspacings. You might want to check out their website. What I'm saying is that if you get 16x10s they are probably going to stick out two inches further than your 16x8s ( I'm guessing that is what you have now).
