If i'm not mistaken I think you will need a 6.375 inch backspace on that size of a wheel. Well at least thats what I have on my Mitsu.

I got my some Boyd Coddington wheels and I am almost positive the shipping label on the box reads 6.375 backspacing. I would need to check the box to be sure but I dont have them here at my house. I'll see if I can get to it by tomorrow.

its pretty easy to learn
a 7 inch wide wheel is actually 8 inches wide lip to lip. So half of 8 is 4 to the wheel centerline, you know you need +45 offset from the center, 45mm = 1.77 inches, so you need at least 5.77 inches of backspace to have a +45 offset wheel.
DONT SKIP ANY STEPS for wider wheels, if you get a 7.5 inch wide wheel, it is 8.5 inches wide, half of which is 4.25, you need at least +57 offset with a 7.5 inch wide wheel (that is +45 + the extra half inch for the lip) so on a 7.5 inch wide wheel you would need 6.27 inches backspacing.
and so on.
