Less rotational weight.
Cheaper tires.
Lower gearing.

You can probably fit 13" wheels in the back, those stock brakes are dinky. Get some volk TE37 13x8" with slicks.. hehe, they are like 7-8lbs each.

How crazy would an S13 with 13x8s be?! AE86 style, y0!

You know, I'd love to see a picture of the car with those small wheels on it. Any chance you can post it when you're done?

Thanks,
Matt

i use 15x8 with my 95 track car and i would think that would be about the smallest you would want to go. imo

I highly doubt you can fit 13" wheels over the stock brakes in the rear. Maybe if you figure out the right offset and had excellent brake clearance due to spoke and rim design then it might work. If you used 3-pc spun rims with machined or cast centers, then it might be possible
