Stock Rim width/BS?

Stock Rim width/BS?
I was wondering what the stock rim width and backspacing would be on my truck. I have an 06 STX 2wd. It has five star aluminum wheels. I can post a pic if necessary. I'm not sure what all wheels came on these trucks.
Thanks

I may be wrong here but I think it's -12 offset. Here is a link that can help with fitting aftermarket wheels https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html

Doesn't sound right. Negitive will push the wheel out board, that number would stick that wheel way out and look silly. I'm sure it's a high positive.
Example, OEM Dodge alloys on 04 my Ram are 17x8 with a 6,1" BS and +40mm OS. That Hugh's them inside the fender well. Without spending a ton of $$ to come close to stock wheels in aftermarket, (which no one makes) you can get a 5.5" BS and a +25mm OS. This looks good on a Dodge. Anything over those specs, be prepared to spend your $$. I settled with Moto Metal 956 wheel with a 5.5 BS and +18 OS. They stick out just a tad, but acceptable. IMO, I think the Chevys and Dodges you see with tires and wheels sticking out as far as you see them, look just plain stupid, IMO.. I will do more searching for the OS and post when I find it.

If you don't find an answer from that link it says you can measure the mounting surface to the inboard flange to and calculate that from the center of the wheel to determine how much plus or minus offset there is.
