Default Wanting to run 13x8's with 235/45/13 on 5th gen what offset?

Just like the topic says, this next autox season I would really like to be compeating for FTD not just fastest in class. And I think that I have my mind made up on a set of diamond roadrace series wheels and I don't know what offset that I should run. Anybody with any experiance with a similar setup I would love to hear what you think. Hopefully with a real set of wheels and tires by 04 we could be nationally competive. The wheels would be 4x100 13x8's with V700's 235/45/13's going on my eg hatch with tokio 5ways on GC's stock eibach rates soon to upgrade to stiffer rears, itr rear bar no front, plus all of the other tie/tower bars. and the car will be getting a cage before next season. Someones help on the offset would be greatly appriciated.

The folks at Diamond don't deal with offsets.

They're way too cool for that.

Tell 'em a five inch backspace.

That'll get the tire as inboard as possible without rubbing.

Look for 4.5 to 5" backspacing or approx. 20-25 offset.
