Most places will show the backspacing in their ad. All I did was take the make and model wheel you showed, and used that and the wheel bolt pattern and googled it to find the backpacing.

Finding wheels for the JK sucks... I can't seem to find any 16x8 wheels for our application that I like, that doesnt have too little backspacing. I dont want the tires to stick out alot. The wheels I abolutely love have 4" of backspacing which would put them too far out the fenders
