Anyone fit the diamond racing 13x8/13x7 rims on their EF?

http://www.diamondracingwheels...s.htm

I wanted to run a super wide street tire with about 200 treadwear, anyone have ideas?

I think stock wheels are about 5" backspace, so i would probably get 4.5-5". These wheels are cheap and relatively light for their width. I got a 90 hatch and i love the ghetto steelie look.

 

you need the 5" backspace, they fit fine 13x8 but will stick out a bit from the fender, you will be fine unless you are super slammed and the tire would slam into the fender

 

so the only rub would occur at the fender and not on any suspension piece?

 

i think anyone would suggest not using a RACING wheel on the street, they are light YES but they are rated for smooth surfaces and can only take so much pressure, one pothole/bump at normal speed could damage it.

However i do know some V-Dub guys widen their steelies for the same effect, but theyre made of steel not aluminum, and they weigh a ton! i dont have any info on it, but maybe some quick googling could save my time =D

diamond wheels are steel and they do weigh a ton^^ they are pretty tough and im sure would be fine on the street,

 

would i be able to use 13x7 with 4.5" backspace (regular center, not fwd), I was looking at these tires:

I got those tires in 195/60/13, really good grip and wear for it's price. But they seem to chunk a little if you drive em' hard on rough surfaces. For all four tires i paid under 200 shipped. over all, i say they're really good tires for the price, and another good thing is that they have a wide variety of sizes for 13's.
