s13 will fit with certian steelies, should fit with xp falcon sttelies

id stay with the s13 set up- much better braking performance if you want to keep 13's

i am sure they clear 200b brakes easily- where most 13's dont. i should be sure- they were on my car for 6 months driving around.

should clear s13 set up- other wise you can go to 200b brakes. can swap you for my coil overs lol- the s13 stop way better.

The wonders of the internet!

Picked up a set of five original XM falcon wheels. The guy is building a 'bash car' for a charity run and has upgraded to 5-stud brakes/diff and had them lying around.

Less than a hundred bucks for a set of five so can't complain. Hopefully you blokes are right, and they clear my brakes!

xm-xp falcons are 4 x 114.3 or 4.5 inch pcd (in imperial terms). perfect for 1200. i have used them heaps!

they were one of the few steel wheels that cleared my 200b set up. my superlights do too though.

most xp falcons switch to 5 stud for brake upgrades etc, you can find them cheap ish. i have 2 sitting here (one with a bit of gutter rash) that i found for $1 on ebay ages ago. will keep them as spares in case i ever need them.

They are getting hard to find but worth it if your dead set on 13's

id just go 14's or 13 inch mags that suit.

Had a similar drama as i wanted to use 13 inch steelies (Sunny, Stanza Steelies) but the S13 brakes and calipers didn't fit inside either of the above rims i tried even 14 inch alloy mags were a tight fit till i ground and smoothed a bit off the calipers. We ended just going sunny struts, 200b discs and VL commodore calipers.

XP Falcon sedans have 13" 4 stud from memory, whereas the commercial models i.e. ute, wagon had 5 stud for extra strength.
Futura and Fairmont had 14"..

Out of interest I'm wanting to run 180B hubcaps & whitewalls, so larger wheels and/or alloys aren't options.

If the CA brakes will fit under 13" then that's a no-brainer and I'll keep them, but from everything I've heard until now they need 14" steelies. XP falcon wheels, if they clear, I assume are a standard Falcon 5-stud anyway which isn't useful given that I'm running 4-stud Nissan brakes.

Perhaps Stanza/200B brakes will be the go. Do the rotors & calipers just bolt on to 120Y struts?

To answer the question you asked, the largest you can get under most 13 inch steel wheels are the stock 9 7/8 inch disc's from Stanza's or post november 78? 200B's which have the same disc & caliper sets as the stanza. This change in the 200B was so they could go back to 13 inch wheels. Hope this helps.
