Ok pretty much im looking to get a set of wheels. Im not quite sure what the backspacing is on the stock wheels. Well there are two choices for backspacing, 3.75 & 4.5, im not sure which one to go with because i don't know what the stock backspacing is. Im also going with 235/60/15's. Any help would be much appreciated.

Most manufacturers use "offset", not "backspace".
The stock wheels have an offset of .88" or 22mm. Backspace is easier to measure. The offset is measured from the centerline. I have 8" wheels with a 35mm offset and they rub on the inside when the wheel is turned all the way.
