just to help a brother out

he is looking to put 13"s in the rear for track days only. which might be a bit of a squeeze for them.

i wish i could help you better.

umm if you grind down the caliper and use a spacer/ have a crazy offset your might be able too.. i know my 14" s series steelies cut it close on stock brakes and actually hit the calipers when i put on the powerslot rotors and hawk pads..

and as far as the S series rear brakes are concerned... least they have an ebrake that actually holds.. thats more then ss balts can say

and as far as the S series rear brakes are concerned... least they have an ebrake that actually holds.. thats more then ss balts can say

not to mention people who have alot of mods/ plan to auto-x rear disks are a great idea.. and some people DO care about stopping... drums are great for the first hard brake but if you have to hard brake again shortly after they dont like that too much because they keep the heat in

good compromise

BUT, you also make the back of the car lower transfering the traction back from the front, you are basically CREATING squat....

after all said and done, no one has tried putting 13" wheels on themselves, so it means you're going to have to try it out. there are valid points about its advantages on the 1/4, so i wouldnt mind trying it out.
