I have 3 sets of cool 13" wheels for my Rx2... Only one set has tires. Thats the set on the car and one tire is a different size of the rest! I know the feeling.

I asked this question on another forum. You're welcome! They said this site still sells 13" tires, and that the Toyo R888 is a decent tire if you're not going to expect a ton of miles out of it.

but it does seem their selection is a tad limited!

i just got mine recently. 13". I called up mavis to do it for me, they had to order them but they found them. i think mine are 175/60/13 though. not sure how picky you are with tire width.

oh damn, so your rim is actually that wide? the rx7 i just picked up has 205's on the rim where my 175 fits perfectly so i thought u were trying to get a look like that. if worst comes to worst i have an extra set of 4 lug fb rims im trying to get rid of if you're interested. idk if they'll fit, but if they do its better than nothing. for the tires i just got i paid 30 a pop so they're cheap too.
