Aftermarket 16x8 Wheels

I'm looking to buy some aftermarket 16x8 wheels for my Formula. Do I order them with specific offsets? If so what are the measurements I need? Or do I just need the aftermarket spacers and what size would they be for front and rear. And who sells them? I have seen spacers listed for the 17inch wheels (2.25" front & 1.25" rear) but are they the same for the 16inchers. THANKS

I have centerline champ 500's on my car. I don't know what the backspacing is, but they dont rub. However I plan to put IROC wheels on my Iroc and these wheels will go on my '80 Camaro.
Nevertheless, here's how they look on a third gen.

1980 Camaro, '88 Police 350 engine, Headers, full exhaust, completely redone, my baby!
1988 Iroc-Z L98, MSD 6a, Accel coil, K+N's, Airfoil, Coolant Bypass, Flowmaster, Gears, Late model Bose, I like the 80 better

Car Craft says to use 4 1/2" backspacing with 16x8 wheels. I have 5" of backspace on my Welds and it is too much. 4 1/2 is perfect for all four wheels.
