Stock 17" wheel offset

Hi all, i am trying to find out what backspacing and offset i need to order wheels by. when i ordered the ones i currently have, they have a 0 offset, and 5 inch backspacing.... i am trying to get some that sit in about 1-1.5" closer to the center of the truck compared to the ones i have now. with my lift i cannot have any more than about 4.75-5" backspacing, so im not sure what offset will work best for me. what have you guys chose that have aftermarket wheels on? im looking for a look that is just slightly wider than the stock wheels..... by about 1" per tire max. does anyone know the specs for the stock 17x7.5" wheels?

thanks in advance !!!!

You can measure from front of the wheel (were the studs go through) to the back of the wheel and set a straight edge on the back of the wheel and what ever your measurmen is is your spacing. I think that the are like a +22 or some were around there. You can also ask a tire shop or some one that carrys wheels they usually know also.
