Wheel backspacing dimesions?

I used the search function and came up with nothing. I would like to know the amount of backspacing the 16" wheels have. i would like to run a set of 16x10" wheels but I want to make sure the backspacing is correct. The stock wheels appear to have a lot of BSing. Also what is the bolt pattern? Thanks in advance.

Its 5x135mm. I'll pull off my wheel and measure the BSing. Isthis type of question to easy or too hard?

The back spacing, or offset, should be stamped or cast on the inside of each wheel. If you go with wider wheels with wider tires, you might need to change the offset for clearance.

Wheel bearings and other suspension components will experience a greater load and alignment will be necessary.
