No, we offer 16" diameter wheels with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern in different offsets/backspacings. If the wheel has an offset then it will be listed in the title or on the product page. I have attached a list of these options for you. If you need a wheel with a negative offset then I recommend part # AM22657 which has an -8mm offset which means the backspacing will be around 3.3". If you need a wheel with a 0 offset then I recommend part # TA73VR which has a 3.5" backspacing.

In order to determine backspacing of a wheel with 0 offset you will want to take the width of the wheel (6"), divide by 2 (3"), and then add 1/2" for the lip (3.5").
