Default Weld Racing Wheels, backspacing? clearance?

I'm ordering a set of Weld Racing wheels 13x8 to put some slicks on. I'm ordering them from http://www.exospeed.com and I was wondering what the proper backspacing would be for my car and will I need extended wheel studs? My car is a 1993 del sol. Thanks.

what size slicks are you planning to use. You can choose the certain backspace to bring out the rim farther out or bring it in. sometimes you want the wheel farther out to clear those wider slicks. the backspace is the length from the inner edge of the wheel to the mounting surface on the back of the rim.

and as far as extended wheel studs, yes you do need them for the Weld Import Magnums and actually all race tracks will require you to have them with these type of wheels.

oo, well mainly I wanted to check to see if I was going to need to get extended wheel studs or not, Since I do I'm just going to go with a set of lenzos and I'm not sure what size slick im going to go with yet, I'm sure exospeed will tell me wen I call and order them. Thanks.
