Site also sells 13x10 wheels but you would need to find 235/60R13 to get back to stock size but would spin with lot less effort from engine!!

Already have 15mm on front and 1.25" spacers on rear...pic with stock wheels below.
These are sold as 15x8 wheels and are available with back spacing (offset) of 2" to 3.5" this would push wheel out from calipers. The 13x10 would definitly have caliper issues but not considering for my setup!!

I hope you are right. offset and/or backspace does not equate in caliper clearance. its the size of the rim to hub face, the diameter of the face that lay flat on the hub. if this is way larger than the stock, it will hit the caliper. trust me I already been there with my own rims.
anyways best of luck, and I hope you don't run on this trouble.

Going by this chart:

4.75" backspacing equates to +6mm offset. And you still face the probability of the caliper not clearing.
I agree w/ Boxer Rebellion. Widening your own steelies will usually work out better. However, it's not all that cheap and not every shop does that.

i thought about gettin these wheels but i found them to but couldnt find em.....but i like what i have now.......maybe i could get em and use em at the track........
look at the picture closer the spokes come forward toward outside of rim and they were designed for nascar vehicles i doubt this design would have any caliber issues considering the massive size of disc brakes the nascar guys run.
