Check out the "will it fit" thread at motoringunderground.com (link below). Plenty of knowledgeable folks over there on this very topic.

How much "poke" (that's the common term) are you looking for? You can move out the wheels up to about an inch using spacers: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-16...cers-pair.aspx. Otherwise do it by choosing a wheel with low offset.

Rather than "poke", can you say "score"? That's what your fender extensions will do to your tires if you go over a bump or hit a pot-hole. Also, adding wheel spacers always tend to cause undo strain on hubs. If you do, you'll need longer lug bolts and I strongly suggest you get the best you can buy because of that added stress.

Here's how they do it!. I was in big into fitment when I owned my subaru. Like others have said, you can either use spacers or go with a low offset wheel. Whenever you go past the fender you'll need to run lots of neg camber. Also to minimize tire contact with fender, you'll also run a stretched tire size.

Look at this picture for reference what I'm talking about, you can see it in the rear wheel.

Hub strain will increase the same regardless of how you get the tires further out.
I'm guessing I'm just showing my age, but it's for good reason doing that would not be legal in this state. That part of the moving vehicle should not easily be able to contact vehicles, immovable objects and pedestrians. Of course, you don't want any part to do so.
Of course, that does not qualify as an answer to your question.

That is why trucks MUST have those fender flairs screwed onto them when bigger offroad tires are used...
You can throw rocks, rain, sand, etc over a wide area with the tires poking out beyond the wheel wells.....
Many places have fines/tickets if you have not added fender flairs to match the wider rims....
