Enough rubber?

Have my eye on a set of 13's for my NA.

They're 13 x 7 and running 8" tyres.

I plan on putting out around 200kw on a stiff suspension setup.

Can anybody give me some info as to how this will go?

Can't help with your question but they would look awesome

Haha, churrs.

They're +10 offset, will this look pus? Any idea where they'd sit?

this is 14x7 +19

and stolen from another thread:

I dream of 13x7,5 +1.5mm perfect for a 205/60-13 a048r...

Picture from the thread that was linked. "14x7.5 +1.5 (B Type)"

You haven't got 200 anythings yet.

So delicious, basically?

Will they sit out or in more than the +19's?

Sorry for noob questions.

I have an NA6 and 13 * 5&1/2 fit but they won't fit my sons NA8.
standard brakes in both cases

So the chances of 13's clearing NB8C brakes is... slim to none?

>_<

Not legal either (you can't go down a diameter).

In NSW there are no restrictions on wheel diameter.

Most 13's will over NA6 brakes, none fit over NA8 or NB. There are people in the states who have retrofitted NA6 brakes to NBs, but that's just dumb IMO.

Mine is the 14x7 +19 posted above. Here are a few more photos as to how they sit.

*x7 +10 will stick out 9mm further.

I gave the 13s a try at a hillclimb and it made a big difference to the gearing ( 15s standard ) but the tyres were crook so I havent had another try with them.
If I could get a bit wider rims and some semi's i think that would be the go
The car seemed to come alive and reved much better.
