Default 13x7 Rims for my 96 Hatch..few questions

I can get an awesome deal on some 13" Hoosiers and I could use them this year for auto-xin. So I started to look around for 13x7 rims.

First, will the 13s clear my stock calipers and suspension?

Also from research im guessing that the "backspace" will help fit the 13x7 on my car. What backspace do I need???

Thanks for your guys help

The factory 96-00 hatchbacks use 9.5" front rotors. 13 inch wheels will fit just fine. But I'm not sure about the backspace.

Thanks for the help!
Glad to know they will fit fine. I saw effects of backspace on website, but I didn't know what would be the best for a Front wheel drive car. I found some rims at diamondracingwheels.com and saw they also have "FWD Center"
what does that mean?

I have 13x7's on a 95 si and a 5" backspace works great for me...

What brakes do you have?

If you have GSR or smaller brakes you can run:

Lenso VPD 13x7.5
Volk TE37 13x8
Panasport 13X8.5

What size Hoosiers did you get? If you got 225/45/13s then I would run a 7.5 minimum.

if your brakes are stock hatchy brakes up front, you can run 13x7 with a 5" backspace.

if you upgraded to GSR front brakes, see what Geratol said....
