Just curious, but what is the smallest wheel that will fit having 13 inch rotors?

I have the Baer 13 inch rotor upgrade kit that keeps the stock rear calipers and I'm thinking of purchasing some seperate wheels for some slicks on the back.

Just puit the stock brakes back on if you want to run the smaller tires. Shouldn't take long to unbolt the caliper, swap rotors and reinstall.

With the stock GT brakes, you can get 15"s in the rear.

You can run 15" wheels with a 3/8" spacer
