Are those 4X100 by any chance? If so what is the backspacing?

I've been running 13X9s for years now. The Hoosier Bias plys I started running reccomend a 10" wheel, but they seem to work well on the 9"s.

4 on 4 will work on 4 x 100 if your not using 5/8 studs. pulled right from the site, and i asked the rep for confirmation. my backspacing is 3.5". i wanted 4", but they only had 1 of those.

Yup they will work BUT....tighten the lugs a 1/4 turn at a time, don't tighten one down then go to the otheres do them all 1/4 turn at a time so the tapper centers'em. You do know you MUST run 1inch diameter lugs with them right? Raceing rims use difrent taper to the lugs.

To bad your in AZ I've got 30+ tires 235 70 13's i need to get rid of. My track changed from Hooshier DOT race tires to American racers..

nevermind again. I run 5" BS on my 9"s, I think I'd have clearance issues if I stepped up to 10"s and down to 3" BS. Not to mention I'd become known as "the Atomic Cone Launcher" at events

DOT does not equal "Street." Yeah, 13 X 8 or 9 would've been more common. Does the A6 come large enough for a 13 X 10 wheel? Anyone? Bueller? I'll keep an eye out for you locally. Glad the wheels worked out!!!

A6 is available in 255/40R13. It would be a stretch, but that's as big as they offer for a 13" diameter.

i know you guys said that actual street tires wouldnt be enough, but at 255+ width, is that still true? i see drift oriented tires in a 265/45-13....would that be enough grip for 800lbs?

255mm is basically 10" so you should be a go with the fat little hoosiers. Methinks you will need much fender/body surgery up front to be able to turn a wheel that wide with that much frontspace.

I know the Diamond wheels use a different taper, but I looked at my Aero wheels, and I was CERTAIN they match the factory wheel nut taper. I ran them for two seasons.

I ran the 13x10's on the 7:
