To measure backspace, put a straight-edge across the inner flanges of the wheel and measure the distance to the hub mounting pad.
Here's a good article to illustrate (Note: I haven't personally checked the numbers that they recommend for 4th gen F-bodies, so please don't take this as an endorsement for their recommendations): http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles..._tires_wheels/
