I'm working on a air-cooled vw drivetrain powered project and was wondering if there are any smaller wheels that would fit on an air-cool drivetrain? It can be either a swingarm or IRS drivetrain. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you trying to find the smallest diameter wheel? Or smallest diameter wheel and tire combination? Or smallest width? For which bolt pattern - 5x205 or 4x130?

If 4x130 I think there are plenty of 13" wheels out there.

I had a pair of 13x5" rims with 22x9 cantilever slicks on them on a buggy. Then i had a full set of 13x7s

Thanks for the info. Yeah, probably would go with the 4-bolt newer setup. By chance, do you have any links to these 13" wheels or 13" wheel options that would work?
