been on this forum since before i had my car, and i have yet to see pictures of diamond racing wheels on a first gen.

anyone?

 

I have some of pics of 13x7 Black, 4x114.3 with 4" backspace. This is unlikely the size you will want. I needed 4" BS to fit my suspension.
Measure up everything carefully and you should be fine. But remember Diamond measures backspace from the outer edge of the lip to the hub face, not from the tire seat to hub face as I believe is the SAE standard.

what size tires are you running on those...look a lot lower profile than my 185/70s.

 

I run 13 by 8s with Khumo 710s, in the 215/50/13 and they look great. I do not have a photo, but I will look around.

 

These are Hoosier R3SO5 225/50R13 for autocross in this case. Wouldn't recommend them or the 710's for the street (but it sure would be fun in dry weather).

i have both of the above wheels and tires....but its for my rx3.

but i do have another set of toyos on 13x7 daimonds that are a good fit on my 1st gen


the hoosiers and a little too big for me, and i had to heat cycle them 2 at a time on the rears

 

13x8 mini-stockers
4" backspace
225/45/13 hoosier r's up front
fatty slicks on back
same rim front and back

diamond's are a cheap steel wheel. panasports weigh less, dissapate heat more, and draw more fresh air into rotors. but cost a lot more. and look better.

 

I have some diamond racing wheels for my new car I am building, but have a question for Chris. Your car looks very similar to what I want mine to be like, what did you use for rear suspension? I have the GForce front suspension, but not sure I wanna spend that much money for his rear setup. Looking for advice.

 

I have a set of 13x8s I had on my SE with 225 50s that did not rub, They did stick out from the fenders a little
