13's will clear the rear drums (but only barely) but will not clear the front calipers.
While supposedly some have removed a small amount of material from the calipers to allow this to be used.... I wouldn't be comfortable doing this.
Tell ya what, if I buy 15's you can buy my period correct, 6-8 layers of slobbered on paint Enkei-mesh 14's!!!! (just kidding)

Thanks,

I had 13's on my race car and Don Muller had 13's on his. I had to turn down the diameter of the rotors and then slot the caliper mounting holes. This allowed me to slide the caliper closer to the hub. I still had to grind a little on the outside diameter of the caliper and bend the lines a little . I was running 13x7 wheels . I think I could have slotted the caliper mounting holes a little more and gotten closer to the hub. It may have been doable without grinding the calipers. If you only run 13x5.5 then you may have less problems. I sold my 13" libres to a 510 guy and went with 15x14 wide 5 wheels.
