do 13's fit?
Have found some 13's that I like, but seem to recall you cant get a 13 wheel to clear the rear calipers?
I am sure I have standard xri4x4 rear brakes and calipers (disk)

Not all 14s fit-let alone 13s! I have two sets of 14" Sierra wheels- one pair wouldn't fit over the XR4x4 rear!
Having said that, I have a feeling that someone did once say they'd found a set of 13s that would.
Can you borrow one of the ones you like from someone to test it maybe?
Cheers,
James

ISTR - as a general rule 13" Steels will fit but most 13" alloys wont.
