Default Maximum backspacing for 13 inch wheel on EF Chassis?

Car = 1990 Honda Civic Si.
Goal = To get 13x9's to fit as inboard to the chassis as possible.
What I know = 5 inch backspacing is common for Honda products.
Wheels = Diamond racing wheels with FWD Centers.

What could be the maximum amount of backspacing that my chassis could handle? 5.5? 6.5?

Any help would be much appreciated.

5.75" spacing should work, and then use 3 or 5mm spacers from there if it rubs.
