If I were you, I'd go somewhere else...I wouldn't pay for 4 tires and only get 3!! Kidding, probably a typo I know....alot of people go with 265/75R16 (32" tall)...or maybe 285/75R16 (33") for something a little taller. Wheels are up to you, so many choices....
Mine are the 265/75R16 on 16x8 wheels with 4" BS...no lift, and looks alot better than it did when I got it.

As to the wheel spacer que - nothing to do with the rim width..everything to do with the rim backspacing, and, the width of the tire you're running.
If running a 12.5" section width tire, you want no more than about 4.75" of BS to clear inboard components....stock BS is 6.25"
If the new black rims are less than $50 each, that's what 1.5" wheel soacers cost anyway...so no problem...untill you try to mount the spare if you need it...and the BS won't work (A spacer is on the hub, not the rim, so the spare could be that 5th OEM rim, etc..)
If the new rims are more than $50 each - you could save the extra rim $, and buy wheel spacers for $50 each...and get the BS you need to fit 12.5" wide tires (33x12.5's)
You could also do an easily reversible BL, a 1" BL would allow up to 35's to fit...as every inch of BL gives clearance for an extra 2" of tire diameter, etc.
When the lease foes back, take the BL back out, easy enough.
