Default Diamond Racing Wheels, what's the difference? Backspacing as well.

Mini Stock series wheels

Road Race series wheels

I don't see any difference... except $10 each wheel (i want 13x9s).

Also, what kind of backspacing should i specify? 4.5"? It's for a 2g CRX.


edit: nevermind, read their FAQ page...

From what I remember from when I spoke with them, the main diff was that the Road Race wheels are truer than the Mini Stocks, made for higher speeds of road racing.

You'll need to specify a 5 inch backspace with a FWD center.

You won't need the FWD center with a 5" backspace. I"m running 13x8s (with a 225/50/13) with a 5" backspace and it has plenty of clearance on a 1990 CRX DX. You might be able to get a 5.5" backspace, but that could be pushing it. Be sure to get their lugs as well, I've seen Diamonds throw lugs that didn't have the 45* taper.
