General rule of thumb - tire should be about 2" wider than wheel. IMO, I'd back off the wheel width & run the Nittos. But, tires a light paint, everyone has their likes & dislikes!
I'm having an issue finding 16x10 or 16x12 wheels in anything with a backspace less then 4.5. There's always the steel wheels that you can get in any backspace you wish, but any good looking alloy wheel with a 3" backspace is an arm or a leg
