Default weld rim sizing??

hey guys i have a quick question... im gonna order my weld import magnums soon, and i was wondering about off sets and rim diameters? these rims will be going on a 99 integra ls with stock brakes, will 13's fit?? the car has approx, 400 whp, looking for high 11 sec. time slips, so i figure i want a 24 inch tall tire, should i get 13's or 15's, and what offset??? also should i get the 15 inch rear skinnies, or a different size?? thanx for the help!!
BTW, i already searched!!

13x8 should be fine with about 5.5" of backspace. What size are the ls brakes compared to gsr? On the rear go with the 15x3.

You may need a 1/4" spacer to clear the caliper.

90-01 Integra brakes are all the same size, excluding ITR.

Then you may need a 3/4" spacer to clear the calipers. I have bbs wheels with 5.5" backspace with 7/8" spacer.

The bogarts come with the backspacing including the spacer. You will need the studs if you use a spacer.

you need long studs for any ones wheels they have too go all through the wheel
nut weld wheels come in .5 back spacing no spacer needed

so even if i get the 13x8's the .5 backspacing is enough to clear my brakes with no spacer???

id rather not have to use a spacer if i dont have too

it is a 5.5" backspacing not .5" and i would go with the 6" backspacing and you will still have to grind a little bit off your calipers

24" tires are really the largest you can get for a 13" rim. If you think you'll need larger due to higher hp goals for your car, you'll wish you had 15" rims instead.

The best thing to do is measure the backspace on the wheels that you are currently using and order that same offset in the Welds
