Backspacing is key. Stock is 5.5" anything less than 5.5 is going to bring the tires and wheels outward for a wider stance.

I think the wheels you referred to have 4.5" backspacing so I think they would do the trick

PS 3.25" Backspacing is the farthest backspacing I have heard of and this can be found on some of the Eagle Alloys / American Eagle wheels.

Don't mess with backspacing, offset, or any of that gay stuff. You can get the tires to stick out without fiddlin with the wheels. Just take a big hammer and bash the fenders in some. Now you got the "appearance" of the wheels sticking out without messing up the suspension or ride characteristics. And isn't appearance what it's all about?
