Im ordering up a set of rims, and Im wondering the max width I can run for a rear tire. The car is daily driven, the tire is more raw grip on the street than anything. And with this tire, what sort of backspacing do I need on the rim? 89-93 S13. ---

So I looked around, and I’ve seen quite a few S13s running a 275 rear tire with a +22 offset. Anyone seen larger? ---
