Question Need INFO, AR 589 with 265/75/16 pics would be great

I have a 2001 Screw with aluminum 16" wheels and Michelin LTX 265/75/16. I am wanting to get a set of 589's and keep my Michelins. Just wondering if 16x10's would look too funnyor will the 16x8's be ok. Or is there something in between. I dont wanna get new tires, but I want those wheels and a look that is a little wider stance. Can I get 16x8's and get a different back spacing? I dont really understand much about the backspacing. I dont wanna get anything that will make it ride worse or wear tires faster.

Please...any info and pictures would be great!

I wouldn't go any wider than an 8" wheel with 265s. If you do I think you'll be running into the problem of putting too narrow a tire on too wide a rim and have problems getting a good seal on the bead. Back spacing is the distance between the inside edge of the rim and the center of the wheel where it bolts to the hub. If you want the wheels to stick out more you want a smaller backspacing.

What kind of backspacing does the stock wheels have and what kind would I need to get? Want a little wider stance. Staying with 16x8 with 265 tires.
