how do I figure out what back space my wheels are

When I bought my jeep it had these wheels on it. So how do I figure out what the backspacing is??

Did you read how to measure, or are you looking for someone to tell you by the make of the wheels?

Backspacing is the distance between the rear-most edge of the wheel and the flange that is against the wheel when bolted into place.

So if you have the wheel off and want to measure its backspacing, the yellow tape measure is measuring the wheel's backspacing in the below photo. My microscope eyes detect that that wheel has 4.25" of backspacing.
