Exactly. On 2nd gen cars, The factory 8" wheels are 4.5 backspace, so for the front if you deduct 3.5 from you wheels size you will have your backspace, on the rear deduct 4" from your wheel size as the rear wheels were sucked in a bit from the factory.

So front

8" wheel = 4.5" backspace

8.5" wheel = 5" backspace

Rear

9" wheel = 5" backspace

9.5" wheel = 5.5" backspace
