15862, 13" slicks and tires
Posted by HiOnPSI, Feb-19-03 06:36 PM
Can we go down to a 13" wheel with the stock brakes? I got a good deal on some 13" slicks, so its up to me to find a wheel that'll fit it.

Bogart makes wheels that will fit. Not cheap though. Check out Roadrace Engineering's site.

A Quaife won't get you 1.8 60' times. But yeah, the price is a little outrageous. That why I'm staying with DR's.

^^^^really....dont plan on doin any extra brake stuff. besides- those 13s are meant for hondas. and i cant fit a 13 on my 95 rs with stock brakes, theres a reason the DSM boys put 14s on us.

Scroll down to the "Suspension/Chassis/Interior" Section. He's run 1.8 60' times with the setup. Why would Extreme sell them if they didn't fit? The wheels Summit sells appear to be the wrong bolt pattern for our cars too, by the way.

those bogart ones are nice, bu ti cant justify spending 600 on wheels, when i can go find some 15" ones cheaper.

Maybe some used Mazda or Nissan wheels, but those aren't wide enough for slicks. Most slick require a 7" or wider wheel. I *heard* that some mustange wheels will fit, but I don't know what year/model they're from or if they're wide enough.
