Default stock FS 1966 rim?

Folks,

I have a 1966 Bonneville Conv, early vin with 14" tires/rims. I am trying to determine the backspace on the rim. I took the rim/tire off the car. Took the valve stem out, no air in tire. I have a bar that will lay across the rim lip and not touch the rubber tire. The distance from the bottom of the bar to the mounting surface of the rim is 4.25". There is the letter "H" stamped near the valve stem. I have been told the stock Pontiac 14x6 rim has a backspace of 3.75" so I am hesitant to order 16x7 8 lug rims from BOP until I get a handle on this backspace thing.

Any help is appreciated.

Ed S
