Your car has 4 back wheels

I run 13's on my racecar but they are like 11" wide so can't recommend those tyres. However I did used to run 13" wheels on another other racecar and they were just 185/70/13 it actually handled not that bad with them on it.

What offset are the wheels?

I don't think he would know. Atleast wheel width? Assuming they're 6in, I would say maybe 185/50/13?

Mine were 5 1/2 inch (they look so tiny in comparison to the widened wheels), technically a tyre shop if you go to them should be able to fit them and check clearance and give money back if they are wrong or swap out for free, unless they are douchebags that is.

A lot of 13" tyres are 70 profile mostly because they are used on trailers a lot which need tall tyres that absorb shock and buffer curbs.

Go to pepboys, they have the buy 3 get 1 free deal. The prices they advertise in there ads are usually for 13" wheels. So you can get 4 new tires for probably $100 mounted and balenced. Dont expect super good super sticky race tires, with a 13" wheel you will probably be getting a huge sidewall tire like a 70 series. The tires that are on many of our grandparents old cars.
