I'm trying to do the same myself - same setup for now too (Wilwood front, sierra rear). I plan to put Wilwoods on the rear at some point too, but aren't keen on getting the hubs turned down (making them potentially weaker).

I seem to recall someone using Compomotive CXR's on a mini that used sierra rear calipers and a wheel spacer.

Not sure what can be done to modify the calipers so that spacers aren't required (in my mind, using large spacers must be a weak link, but I'll stand to be corrected).

To my knowledge there are only two 13" wheels that will clear Sierra rear calipers:


  1. Compo CXRs
  2. Caterham 6 x 13 (see Chockymonster's home page.)
