Stock wheel back spacing? Wheel spacer?

Stock wheel back spacing? Wheel spacer?
What is the stock 16" wheel offset?
I had the stock 16s on my 04 and I liked the wheel, but HATED how bad the wheels/tires were tucked under the truck.
So I bought 265s, which helped but not enough
next I put the 265s on 16x8 bead locks, but didnt help any
Next I put 15x8 Ultra nomad wheels w 32/11.50/15s.
looks Much better but the tire selection SUCKS and the wheels have gone to hell.
Well, I just bought 4 New stock wheels, I want to run spacers to make the tires stick up Just past the flares, like the 32s do. What size spacer do I need?

7" wide wheel w/ 4.50" Backspacing (+12 offset)
What was the backspacing of the 15x8's that you liked?
(Take stock backspacing - The backspacing of the Ultra Nomad's) + 1" for the difference in wheel width = Size Spacer needed to bring the outer edge of the stock wheels out to where the Nomad's were.
I would guess the 15x8's had a backspacing of 3.75" (fairly typical). If so (and assuming I did things correctly), you would be looking at a wheel spacer of 1.75" in order to lineup the outer most edges.

Here are some other common wheel sizes (along with stock) that would allow to you ditch the spacers altogether and still get a 'wide' look:
7" wide wheel w/ 4.50" Backspacing (+12 offset) - meaning 2.50" outboard. (Stock)
8" wide wheel w/ 3.25" Backspacing (-32 offset) - meaning 4.75" outboard. (aka - 2.25" further "out" than stock as well as being 1.25" inward less than stock)
8" wide wheel w/ 3.75" Backspacing (-19 offset) - meaning 4.25" outboard. (aka - 1.75" further "out" than stock as well as being .75" inward less than stock)
8" wide wheel w/ 4.00" Backspacing (-12 offset) - meaning 4.00" outboard. (aka - 1.50" further "out" than stock as well as being .50" inward less than stock)
8" wide wheel w/ 4.50" Backspacing (0 offset) - meaning 3.50" outboard. (aka - 1.00" further "out" than stock as well as being the same distance inward as stock)

Yeah, that's what I come up with.

Thanks, but I just bought a New set of stockers for $500 and I really like the look of them. Now to find a set of spacers and a tire I like
