What is the backspacing on 16" wheels

I need to buy a new set of wheels for my car. I know their 16x8" wheels, with the 5 lug 4 3/4" bolt pattern. But I don't know what the backspacing for the front and rear wheels are. Can anyone help me?

I know HOW to do it, I just didn't want to take my wheels off to do it. I want to replace them with aftermarket wheels with the stock backspacing, so I need to know what it is.
