Listen to awr68! We deal with this all the time. Its a lot easier to build the wheel to the look you are trying to achieve, than measure up the rear and have it cut to length. I could through a bunch a numbers at you as far a backspacing goes, but I would rather figure out what you looking for first.

The best way to do it is to buy the wheels with the look (b.s.) you want, mock them up (with tires mounted) and then measure for the rear end width.
