GSLSE rim and tires question

so the suspension/tire/brake section sucks and i get no answers there.

obviously, i have the 4x4.5 bolt circle. I have been hoping to run a 13 inch diameter wheel with as wide of a tire as i can for the track. I can get 10 wide hoosiers BUT i can not find a wide enough wheel that will fit (usually not enough backspacing).

Usage: I probably will never take it auto crossing. I will be going to the hill climbs and occasional track days at a road course.

Can anyone makes some suggestions? Not looking for anything fancy.

Will a 13" wheel fit over the SE brakes?
Sorry, I can't realy be much help, other than to suggest contacting places like Diamond racing wheels.

i dont see why not. ill try to confirm what i can with the 13" stock wheels. But if i can, i want too. The tire selection is better, as are prices.

15x8 and 275/35-15 hoosier R6........ If you wanna trim the front fenders a bit.
15x7 with 225/45-15 Hoosier R6. Fits with minor fender rolling, and possibly coilovers to assist in having inner clearance.
I can't help with needed offset for an SE, but +15mm works great for 15x7 wheels on a 12A car.
