Default Stock Cherokee Wheel Backspacing (PLEASE HELP)

Hey guys. I am having much diffuculty figuring what type of wheel options I have for my Cherokee. I want the wheels to have the correct original backspacing and offset. I need to know what the stock backspacing is for a Jeep Cherokee sport.

Does anyone know what the backspacing is?

i'm 100% positive as i just replaced my wheels and tires last week and had this discussion with the supplier about my stock wheels.
