Default Stock Wheel Specs

I want to get 15 inch Cragar Soft 8s when I do my lift but I cant find the offset or backspacing anywhere. I have the 15x7" wheels like these:
I want the wheels to stick out past the fenders about 1".

Hmm...if I remember correctly from mine (though yours looks different) the specs goes as this:

6 lug with 4.5" spacing
5" backspace
+12mm offset

somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a 3rd gen dakota wheel, or am I imagining things? I certainly don't remember a 2nd gen wheel of that design.

Those rims came stock on my 02 - check out my avatar pic.

Since then I've picked up the 15x8 mags and painted them black.

I still haven't figured it out. Another question. What size tires can I fit with a 2" suspension lift and a 3' body lift? Its 2wd.
