FWIW I run my 315/75 KM2's on stock Rover alloys and wheel spacers. The stock Rover alloy will hold a bead better than any steel wheel that isn't a beadlock. I think a lot of people feel they "need" steel wheels to go offroading and that simply isn't the case.

That's what I'm doing also. 30mm spacers. Just trying to have a bit different look. I don't really care about steel wheels, I wanted that old school look. Only wheels available in our bolt pattern just happen to be steel. Maybe I'll just get mine powder coated. I painted my spare wheel cover with undercoating paint and it looks awesome.

I do want to see them in the 10" width. I think the offset of that will closely match what I currently have: stock 8" w 30mm spacer.

Part Number: PCW87-6156 Pro Comp
16 x 10, 5 on 6.5 Bolt Pattern
Backspace=4

Does anyone know what this offset will compare to my current setup? Stock Rover 16x8 w 30 mm spacer assuming the spacer will not be needed on the new wheel?

So now that we're past all that. Has anyone run 16x10 wheels?
you don't need super wide tires. my 33x10.5s did just fine on the beach. and a 305/70 won't hold a bead well on a 10" rim.
