13" Wheels On A Giulietta

Putting ideas together for the next race car today.....Has anyone heard of or seen 13" wheels on a Giulietta/Giulia Spider?

at the last alfa club track day I saw a set of 14" wheels on a giulietta sprint. I was pretty impressed he got them to fit. He said it took a little machining of the drums fins.

maybe you have rotors?

The Giulia Spider I raced last year had 14" wheels because it had 4 wheel disc brakes. The new Giulietta we are building is going to have `3" wheels if I can fit them. I'll probably end up grinding the calipers if I have to. We'll see

Anthony:
I've got a set of 13x7 Panasports I raced with in Alaska on a 105, you're welcome to try them on your project car (and buy them if you like them)

Thanks for the offer Wil. Do you happen to know the offset? I'll let you know when I get to that step.
