I believe you will need at least 16" with a low offset or some spacers. Then again you can always just try them on if you got them.

If you don't mind using spacers, you should be able to make them fit.

ebay ones are about 90, but you should get either h&R or get powered by max ones like I'm gonna get. If the brakes clear on top, but the inside of the wheels touch then you should measure for the width of spacers you need.

Spacers are bit of headache. You can't use stock studs, so you have to replaced them with longer ones. I run these on mine and I love them. They are hub centric, so perfectly balanced. Or you should pick up used wheel in bigger size. I'm telling you. Suspension, brake, wheel and tire upgrade are not cheap.
