    Yeah, the common backspacing for them seems to be 4.5".  I know Vintage Wheel Works will make them in 4.25", but it is custom and will cost a bit more, plus the wait time.

    I say go with the 4 1/2. If you don't like the looks, add a 1/4" spacer to get you were you want to be.

    Hmn, now I see you are looking for 16x7 wheels.  The wheels I typically see in 4.5" backspacing are 8" wide
