After some time off, I am back at it and wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions. Dummy that I am, I didn't have all the bolts torqued down sufficiently and that is why the wheel would fit on the driver side but not the passenger. Both sides can now fit a 16" wheel, however, I am going to a 17" wheel because there is not that much clearance to make me comfortable. Now I am on the hunt for 17"x6" 8x6.5" bolt pattern wheels with about 3.5" BS...wish me luck.
