OEM Wheel Backspacing and Offset

Does anybody know the offset and backspacing for the OEM 16x7 wheels? I am looking into getting new wheels when I get tires and I'd like to match up the geometry as much as possible.

I'm only going to go up to 16x8 (and 285/75-16 tires), but I'd like the keep the wheel loading in the same relative position as the OEM wheels. I'd like to minimize any additional stresses on the hubs, knuckles and steering.

I'd like to keep the same offset and add 1/2" to the OEM backspacing to keep the wheel in the same basic location as the stockers.

Thanks for any info...
