Default 4.5 or 5.0 " Backspacing?

Hey all.... Quickie question. Right now I'm running stock rims & stock KM's with spidertrax 1.5" spacers. I want to lose the spacers so if I get new rims and want to keep the same stance, should I get 4.5" or 5.0" of Backspacing on the rims??

Cheers
J

Your stock wheels have 6.25" BS so for exactly the same stance as you have now, you want 4.75".
