Default backspacing?

been looking at diamond racing wheels, what would be the correct backspace for the wheel? i would like the wheel to stick out of the fender just a little, but no rubbing. this is for my dc integra.
thanks

https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html check out that link and look for the chart w/ backspace/offset info. it also will guide u on how to measure for clearance

if i had that car i would proly go w/ 5" backspace w/a 7" width on the rims. u may even be able to run 8" wide w/ a 5.75" backspace w/ the right stance

beware: u may have to roll fenders and/or run stretched tires to achieve the look u want w/o rubbing. i will not recommend those things but just a precaution.

The best wheel width depends on the wheel diameter and tire size. I wouldn't go with anything wider than 15x6.5 or 16x7 for most tires for a GS-R or Type R.
