Thanks

It will NOT fill in the fender gap, in fact it will make it obvious that there is a fender gap between the wheels hence the 4X4 look when you get aftermarket wheels on there.

Hard question to answer 100% without knowing what your tire size is now, and what tire size you're going too and whether or not you're sitting on the stock/modified suspension or what.

Without knowing that I'd say the answer is no. The reason why is because you're probably going to drop down to a ~35 series tire, so your overall height is going to be very close to what it is now.

well ill say right now im getting rpm 505 chrome rims. 18 inch with offset being between 35 and 38. Not 100% sure. But as for tires im looking at 275,35,18.

And I am on stock suspension.

Why's that?

I think that'll put you about even with where you are now on a stock 16", so no.
