Default Wheel back-spacing question

I have attatched a pic of the wheels in question, not a very good one but its the only one I have right now lol

my question is, does anyone know the size and backspacing of them? I'm thinking 16x7 I may be completely off though.
The reason I would like to know is because im getting ready to buy a wheel/tire combo and need to know what backspacing I will need on a 16x8, i'd like for them to stick out a little past the fenders to give my truck a nice stance.

Thanks,
Brad

Thanks guys, I told you it wasnt the best pic in the world but its all I had lol...

I've always owned dodge truck from day one (14 years ago) but never did anything besides drive em til the wheels fell off and buy another one, so the whole wheel/backspacing/etc etc is all new to me..

Since these are 16x7 with a 5" BS
If I were to go with a 16x8 what kinda BS would I need to get so that they stick out a little past the fenders? 3 or 4?

oh and thanks for the compliment on the room 2liter and vaughan im remodeling as you can tell...

Thanks again guys even the ones that made a joke outta this

Brad
