you want less backspacing. Gonna have to be a 16 inch rim, I would recommend at LEAST 8 inches wide(stock is 7.5), with 3.5 to 4 inches back spacing. (stock is 4.5)

Offset is usually measured in millimeters..... so it isn't something I generally worry too much about. Backspacing is the measurement that you are gonna be most concerned with. That is the one that determines how far your wheels stick out.
