I found these. I want to get some rims. I am just a little confused on back spacing and everything .

I dont have spacers and I am not looking to run them if possible. I would like the wheels to stick out a little if possible though.

I would like to stay with the 16"

I found these

Any reason you want to stay with 16s?

Reason I ask is, those prices are what I paid for my 17x8 Pro Comps. Tires are more available and sometimes actually cheaper for 17" wheels.

I like where you're going with this, though.:thumbsup:
 






17"s wouldnt be out of the realm. I guess if I can save on tires that way
 






Yeah, that's why I went down to 15's. tires are so much cheaper, easier to find and there's more variety of tires in different sizes.

True story. That's why I'm making the switch.
 






To answer your question, the first two will work, the third might be a little too much backspace at 4.5". Also I noticed they were all 7" width. Just make sure you won't ever want anything wider than a 10.5 tire on that wheel otherwise get an 8".
 






And you can always run a 10.5 wide tire on an 8" rim. IMO it's better to get an 8" wide wheel from the beginning.
