Default Backspacing on stock 07 with 16x8's

I just purchased some 285/75r16's for my 07 wrangler. I then ordered some rims with 4" backspacing. I need 1.5 inches of additional displacement from stock. Does anyone know what the stock backspacing is on the 07 wrangler with 16x8's? I am hoping it is at least 5.5"...please help.

4.5" of bs is ideal, the less the more they stick out. With a 285 Tire, I'm gonna say you'll be about flush with fender. Hope this helps

6.25 is music to my ears. I needed 1.5 to clear where it rubs. I will take a 2.25" increase in displacement. Thanks guys, ill post pics once they come in and get put on.
