hi all,
i have recently acquired my first ever 1200 (wagon) so they are a little foreign to me.
it currently has drums all round, needless to say i am pretty keen on getting some discs up front.

just wondering if 13" wheels will clear a s13 disc conversion with not to aggressive an offset.. i.e. will 13x7 -something or 13x8 -/+ 0 work alright?
or will 14's be the minimum size wheel i can run??

looking to sort the front out with some reasonable anchors in case i ever get around to doing a motor swap in the future.
and just want to buy the right wheels from the get go.


thanks in advance for your help!

Ive used 13x6 hotwires over s13 setup on me Ca ute but had to take a little meat off the calipers which is fine cause they are as thick as bricks. The problem may arise more so when setting up disc brakes on rear, though im sure others have done it. I ran 14's on my ca wagon but it had bluebird disc brake setup on rear.

thanks for the feedback andy, appreciate it!
presume you were running pretty standard offset on the 6" rims??

Yeah pretty standard man but ive tried sitting other 13 inch wheels over that S13 setup with no joy. Others will enlarge on that though maybe go over to 1200.com for more advice/options heaps of Ca 1200 members over there to.

13s will fit over 200B brakes, and some 13s will fit over 240K brakes. Those with standard or 200B drums should pull it up well enough to get engineered.
