Cause I'm building on of Jack's Lola-ish body cars, and I still have time to budget a couple of inches for a possible wide set of tires... should probably figure, what, 15" or so?
Nobody says you have to run FA fronts on the front and FA rears on the rear. You could also run FA fronts all around. Beyond that, you need to be able to fit 13" diameter wheels over your brakes, as well as requiring what I believe would be uncommonly high offset for 13" diameter race wheels provided you don't want your street wheels to be so far inset as to look like you're running space-saver spares behind the rear fenders. You're could possibly find a 15" diameter (non-FA) size bias-ply tire size that is more closely matched with your street wheels/tires, or easier yet, simply go to radial DOT-R tires that are available in "standard" sizes. If you're not building a nationally competitive car, you don't actually 'need' a nationally competitive wheel/tire package.

They don't throw a conniption fit about rotaries anymore? a turbo 13b will make far more power than any naturally aspirated 2.0L 4cyl..
Rotaries produce one firing event per combustion chamber per revolution, producing power (regardless of the actual combustion cycle used) like a 2-stroke rather than a 4-stroke engine that the displacement structure is based upon...Therefore:
Forced Induction + Magic Spinning Doritos = EMod
