From a thread I posted months ago under technical discussions:

ike I said, a 16x10 with 4-5" backspacing will work fine. Maybe 4.5" is the magic number.

Work it out this way:

Stock wheel is 16x7.5"

Stock 33" tires are 9" wide.

Stock offset is 30mm = 1.18" (negative).

Therefore stock backspacing is 7.5 - 1.18 - 0.25" (most charts recommend this), roughly 6".
