Will 13's clear the calipers on a type 3?if not what about 14's?I tried a search and all I could find were threads on bugs.

it will depend on the wheel itself, but 14inch original (real) Porsche fuchs fit a type 3 well

I had steel 13" wheels with factory offset and they weren't even close to clearing disk brakes when I converted over.

So you converted to drum brakes to run the 13's?or you used other wheels?

I ran different wheels and went to R compound tires instead of slicks
