Backspacing and offset are two different things. Dexstar wheel # AM20551 has a zero offset meaning the mounting surface is centered. The width is 6 inches, but that is measured bead seat to bead seat not overall width. That means that the overall width is approximately 7 inches making the back spacing approximately 3-1/2 inches.

This wheel has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. Make sure your hub has the same bolt pattern. I have included a link to the right on how to determine bolt pattern.
