I recently acquired some Goodyear Cantilever Slicks for free, and I am interested in fitting them onto my car (for auto-xing). The size of the tire is 13x8 and they came off 13x6 rims. The info I cant seem to figure out is what size, in inches, should the backspacing be on a 13" wheel for a 96 200sx se-r? I already have the wheels i want picked out, and I know 13's will fit onto the car over the stock brakes, but in order to get em I need that number and I cant find it anywhere. Anyone help me out?

I know a 13x7.5 with a 25mm offset will fit and work just fine (Lenso VPD), although it just barley clears the stock brakes. I assume that same offset would work for a 7 inch rim too. What rim are you going with?

Edit: I knew I had run across a gentlemen's webpage who was running a 13x7. Here it is: http://www.geocities.com/g_wellwood/automotive/sentrawheels.html He is using a 5" backspace. Mind you its not an se-r, so its got smaller brakes.

hmmm...I was planning on going with smilar wheels as that guy...cheapo steels. The problem is, these are cantilever slicks, so the sidewall sicks outta the rim like 2"
