We've got the same suspensions I believe.  I went down to a 15" rim on my 97.  It is 10" wide though.  I'd say you would want a 15x8 rim with somewhere around a 4-5" Backspacing.  That should make your rims stick out about 1-1.5" farther than they are now with stock rims.  Which would be even with or stick a little past the fenders.  I've got some pics down in my sig of my truck to give you an idea of what 10" wide rims look like.
