Remove one of your current wheels, measure the backspacing, and order accordingly eh?
 






I could be wrong about this but I don't think the Soft 8's come in 4 inch backspacing anymore. I got mine with 3.75.
 






did the 3.75 stick out farther than stock
 






about 3/4 inch. I have 31x15 bfg mt2 s on the cragars , they dont stick out enouht for fender flares but they do stick out, thats with the 3.75 bs
 


















the soft 8's in 16x8 with proper backspacing are close to that if I remember correctly through summit.
 






Either way, I think you'll be pleased with a generic looking black rim. Throw on the factory wheel-caps and they'll look ****:

Yeah those black rock lobo rims dont look so great but thats just me. Yeah summit says they come in a 4 and 5 inch backspace.
 






by the way your ex looks sick.
 












I know its a 2nd gen but I have the 15x8 lobos and love them. 4.0bs and they stick out perfect. I would look at Quadratec. They were a little more per rim but with shipping it came out cheaper.
