I need to pull my fronts today and check the brakes. I'll measure the backspace and post up if nobody gets to it before I do!

OK, the wheel is a 16X8. The backspacing on mine is 6 7/32" from outside of rim to back of wheel where it rests against the rotor. Its just under 6 1/4". I have the stock polished aluminum wheels .
