Want to go from 18" racing Hart to a 16x8, looking for suggestions

I need a more comfortable ride. I have the older weird suspension from 2002 and eibach springs. I need to drive a girlfriend commute where the roads are not good for my 18's. I am struggling to find a bbs style option or deep dish wheel. Id like my local Les Schwab to get them for me. Please help!
