  View original topic: looking for pics of lowered bay windows with 13" wheels

I'm thinking of putting some 13x8 wheels on my lowered bus. I searched the gallery but didn't find any examples. If you have some pics, please post. I know they are not correct, the wrong weight rating, and wrong offset, etc...but indulge me anyway thanks.

.. will 13's even fit over the drums?

probably, haven't tried them yet. I have the wheels in Illinois, and the bus in Florida.

I knew a guy who ran 13s on a bug. I would get taller gears if they do work though or just enjoy going even slower on the freeway.

13"s will NOT clear Bus brakes.

So what you are looking for doesn't exist.

Jeez, I couldn't imagine. :roll:

Thirteens are awfully small and the tire selection is horrible unless you wanna run UTV tires and those certainly wouldn't meet load ratings.

I used to run 13x9s on my truck before the motor swap. The tiny tires helped the anemic diesel motor to get out of its own way.

Thank you for the replies.
