What company are you getting wheels from that makes them in 1/4" increments?? There isn't any real set backspacing you would need.

Use this to figure out what you want.http://www.skulte.com/adapterfaq.html

5.75 to 6 inch backspacing on the rear and about 4.5 on the front. I would trial fit before you purchase. The back may not fit too well. Wider rims like those generally need larger diameters to clear obstructions.
