Sure it is. But if you are going to keep running wheels this big, why not fit something bigger in there, for better braking.

Or it'll look like this SSS Pulsar I saw yesterday, looked like had 18" wheels & 9" discs... :shock:

it's got something to do with rotating mass, a brake specialist could tell you. The discs have more work to do with bigger wheels because of the centrifugal force and inertia of the wider rims. you should think about bigger brakes, they're much cheaper than 's' stuff . You can use the 7.5's but they won't be as efficient as they are inside 10's

The biggest combo I found to sit in 13"=

Volvo 4 pots (right angle brake line connectors)
Starrion rotors (massive thermal mass)
cooper studs
Fab caliper mounting plate
Fab disk mount to hub (disk screwed onto this)
Hyper Fang II 13x6 rims (needed for caliper clearance)

On drum hubs

These are massive (and heavy) considering the calipers are for a 1500kg car and the disks are for a 1200kg car it needed a rear adj bias and very large master cylinder
(volvo). The brake pedal has near no travel but very good feel.

**** I had reduced turn angle ****
