To many variables to just say what rims you need. What width are the tires? What width rim do you want to run? Are you running any kind of wheel spacers?

I run 38.5x11's on factory IFS 15x7's with 1.5" wheel spacers. IIRC that puts me at 3" of BS, and i had to trim less sheetmetal with 3" of lift than most people have to trim with 5" of lift and 35's. If i ran a wider tire on this combo, i would be into the springs hard. If i ran a wider wheel, or a little bit less backspacing i would be into the firewall.

15x8 3.75" BS should do ya fine as I ran 35/12.50/15s, 37/12.50/15s and now 39.5/13.50/15s on that rim. All fit fine on the rear and I run a 2" spacer on the front.

Nothing wrong with running wheel spacers. I have for almost 4 years and not as much as a loose nut. You just use some Red Loc-Tite.
