back spacing on aftermarket rims

I plan on buying a set of 9.75X16.5 rims to mount 33x12.50x16.5 tires on. I had these on my 95, but I cant remember the back spacing on the rim. They fit great and cleared all components, but they didnt stick out a mile either. Does anybody know what works the best? If I order them, the tire dealer says he cant return them, so I want to do it right the first time. Also, my buddy bought these a couple years back (he had a 96) and we had to grind off the casting marks on his front calipers. I am guessing he had a deeper back spacing. They should fit over all four of my disk brakes right?
