Offset/Backspacing! How much is necessary?

Hey Folks,
I have stock FX4 16" rims wrapped in newer 245/75 R 16 GrabberA/TX and I'm looking for new rims with a bit of offset.
how much backspacing/offset would I need to get my tires poking out of my fender flares just a bit for a more aggressive look?
The stock rims I have are 7" wide, if I were to go to a 8" rim would my tire look stretched or look too narrow for the rim?

Thanks for reading

Changing the offset enough to move your tires out that far is really hard on the wheel bearings.

Answer to your other question, your 245's will fit on an 8" rim just fine.
