Question Wheels

every one these days uses the biggest fattest wheels they can get their hands on, but I prefer the old style wheels. My curiosity is that I now want to know what the smallest diameter wheels I can fit on my S12. Bearing in mind it has standard brake set up. 13" or 14" I think could look quite cool.
If anyone knows the answer to this it could be very useful to me.
cheers

you can't go smaller than 15" cos the wheels won't clear the brake calipers

My mate has 14" Datsun 260z wheels on his, and I believe he had to grind a few shavings off of the rear calipers

Default wheels

would be interested in offering a set of 14" up and see how much needs taking off the brakes.
shame they wont go straight on - I think a little set of dished 14" would look really cool.
