Expert Reply:
The backspacing for this Americana Steel Trailer Wheel # AM20026 is 4 inches. I determined this by taking the wheel width (7 inches) adding 1 inch for both wheel lips (8) and then dividing that by 2 to give the backspacing of 4 inches.
I attached an FAQ on trailer wheels and tires for you to check out also.
This rim would not be reversible. The lug mounting flanges are designed so that the wheel will center on the lug as they are tightened. Reversing them would most likely damage the holes and wouldn't allow the rim to center.
