They would stick out way to far with those arches and they wouldn't flex to the contures of the trimmed wing.

There are several 13" wheels which fit. Sportspack look like they fit (at least with a bit neg. camber), and 5,5" Revos fit too. But both fit 'just', it's a very tight fit and a tester with a bad day might fail them... You can enlarge the std. arches a few mm with a wide filler strip, by the way :)

That's actually pretty sexy, I think.

Pictures from here: http://www.dghklassi...mpressionen.htm - there are some more 13" with std. arches :D
