It's 5" on the stock wheels. This chart has been posted before, too.

Post some pics when the wheels get done!

1. Lay the wheel on the ground, face down.
2. Take a straight edge (level, ruler, piece of flat stock) and lay it across the back of the wheel. Make sure it is sitting on the edge of the rim, and not on the tire.
3. measure down from your straight edge to the face of the rim (the place that would sit against the brake rotor).
4.That measurement is your backspacing in inches. Use the chart above to get the number.
5. Profit.
