Team Dynamic make - or used to make - a 13x7" wheel. I'm wondering if anyone has run a small aftermarket wheel like this with AD22VF brake calipers. I know that an OEM 13" wheel won't fit, but if anyone has any feedback. I also run spacers.
Thanks.:biggthump

i seriously doubt it would work (physically the calipers are too large for the wheel diameter IMHO)

I see your point enough that I'm not buying anything without having some verification, but here's an old post

I know that I've seen another somewhere - but sure seems like folks in the past ran 13" wheels with NX brakes. So I'm hoping we can find someone with the facts (regarding road racing not drag)!

only other wheel I can think of that might grant you clearance is a circle track wheel (due to it being thin steel outer shell as well instead of thicker aluminum)
I'm going to stick with 15s for my roadrace cars because there are plenty of 205 50 15s out there to buy used cheap AND we like using the 225 45 15.
I guess I can see your point of being able to get the cheap 13s too but the wheels will be more of an investment while 15s are a dime a dozen in comparison (heck, brand new kosei K1s from tirerack are only $115 each)
