Question:

What is the backspacing on the AM20514 15x6inch 6 on 5.5 rim. The distance from the back of the hub plate to the back of the rim?

The Dexstar Steel Conventional wheel you referenced, part # AM20514 has a 0 offset, which means that the hub plate or mounting pad is centered along the 6 inch width of the wheel. Half the width of the wheel is 3 inches, plus the distance from the inboard bead seat to the back edge of the rim, which is about 1/2 of an inch, which would make the backspacing at right about 3-1/2 inches.
