Wheel Backspacing

[LOH CHO]

Okay so I'm looking at getting some procomp steel wheels for my 97 4x4, I have some factory fender flares on it so I would like to have some offset but I don't know how to find out how much the rim has. On the wheel description it says its backspacing. Would that be my offset?

Cheers

Yea the smaller the backspacing is the more the wheel would be pushed out, more backspacing tucks it in.

Okay so what would stock backspacing be? If anyone knows

stock is 6 something i had some 17x9 procomp 1069 wheels with a 4.75 bs and they stuck out past my flairs a little bit at full crank with 33 12.5 17s then i went to a 16x8 with 285s and those had a 4 and 3/8 bs and with the 285s and them i was even with the outside of my flairs with about a 2 inch crank

So if I don't want insane offset I shouldn't go less then 4inch, found some nice ones with 4-4.5 bs
