Small wheels big brakes
Nice and easy.....
Is anyone using, or does anybody know if you can use 13" wheels with sierra rear discs and calipers?
Specifically is anybody using RS type 4 spokes?
Cheers.

IIRC I dont think you can. 13" alloys have a much smaller internal diamter than 13" steel wheels.

I think it depends what car there from.
I have some 13" wheels from a cortina that were planned to be used to push the car around the garage during the building stage, but they wouldnt
fit the back or front of my car. ( discs all round)
However on my last car I had 13" four spoke Capri wheels and they fitted the front Ok. The rear were drums.
I therefore think that if they fitted the front then they probably would fit the rear as well.
I would think that you will be ok with the Capri four spokes they have a much wider offset.
The ones fitted to the Fiesta Super sport will not fit!
I dont know, but I wouldn't think the Escort ones would fit.
I hope this helps.

Talk to MAC#1, they have a set of 13" wheels on one of their cars.

Yep. I'm putting 13" alloys on mine with Sierra rears and Wilwood fronts.
Talk to Mac#1 as there are a couple of little mods needing done.
What offset are your wheels because some of the ones I looked at won't fit. I'm needing ET35-38.

I've got 13" alloy wheels over sierra rear calipers with hi-spec fronts. Mine are ET24 but i'll have 10mm spacers on the rear but
thats only to fill the arches and nothing to do with clearing the caliper.

I have 13" KN Minators over Sierra calipers and the only mod I had to make was to bend the handbrake arms on the calipers slightly to clear the
rims.
Cheers,
