Your first question to yourself should be, why in gods name would you want to do something like that? 
Aside from looking completely retarded, unless you have the horsepower to make use of them (which you don't) you'll seriously hurt your performance.
EDIT
Nevermind....I thought you were talking about width, but I now realize you're talking about height...so disregard the above statement. In which case you need to ask yourself, why in gods name would you want to do something like that?

Yeah, I am not too sure if you could fit brakes in 12" diameter wheels, especially if you have disc rears. I'm with Gearbanger. Hopefully there is function over form in this case.......
Now if you are talking width........again, function over form is the question......

im pretty sure its width....based on the wheel in question.
you'll most likely need to mini tub it, you'd have to shorten the axles and everything probably to make it fit "right" id imagine

12" width, no way with out mad spacers.
12" diameter. No way, they will hit the brakes. 14" wheels won't even fit the over V8 calipers and rotors. 14" will fit the drum rear, so will 13"s. 12" won't fit, the 13" I had on the drum rear brakes JUST BARELY cleared.

Sounds like you're talking about the front wheels...in which case you're right. But over the rear where he wants them they will clear the stock drum brakes with no problems. But I still see no reason to to with anything smaller than 15" wheels. There are guys running 10's on 15" wheels and 9.5" tires....so unless you're making 600....even 700+hp, there's no reason to go with such a big tire and/or wheel combination. It might just be time for some driving lessons instead.
