Wheel size and backspace

Is there a definitive thread for aftermarket wheel fitment?
i don't see the details listed in the FAQ sticky.

I'm casually looking at wheels, and need to determine proper backspace and hub size.

would either of these work?
16x8 - 4.5" backspace, 4.331" Center bore
17x8 - 4.8" backspace, 4.270" Center Bore

Thanks

Re: Wheel size and backspace

I know this is a bit late, but I'd suggest steering away from the 16" in favor of the 17" diameter. There appears to be a greater selection of tire options for the 17.
