13" rims do not fit over the turbo brakes, or even Elantra brakes (not 100%), and this is why the spare is 14" regardless of what chassis it was bolted into. Smallest diameter rims you can run are 14" with proper offset and enough clearance due to material type (like thicker aluminum rims that bring more material into the caliper area), to fit a C53a brake setup. The 257mm Elantra setup I pulled had 14" rims on it, but I cannot tell you if 13" rims would fit that, so just assume 14" is better to use and tires are better matched for width to keep traction to the ground with a high powered turbo motor putting power to 1 tire in some cases. This is a general blanket statement for those wondering if the question had been answered since being posed earlier in this thread.

Made a nice find for 14'' alloys that will fit our cars . Infiniti G20 rims are 6 '' wide the correct offset and very light . Like all Nissan rims you have to open up the center hole 25 thou .
When I put altima wheels on my old mirage, It just took a little more arm strength to get on. The steelies look pretty, are 6 1/2"-7" wide but there heavy.

I have discovered that Legend car wheels fit our cars and since they race these cars in every state and province they are not too hard to find used .

They mostly use 7 " wheels but also run 6 " and come in various offsets from 2 " to 4 " I scored two full sets of these wheels used for $ 200

I sold my C10 a couple years back but I did run my AE86 wheels on the front for one event just for the heck of it....

I'm not a fan of the "vato" look. Sorry.

Ya it not for everyone, I actually just sold the rims looking to buy a less exaggerated set.
