brakes for 13" wheels

hi,
I have mk indy bec running sierra vented disks on front and sierra discs on rear.. Would like to fit 13 inch wheels but cannot easily find due to size of calipers. I have seen a mk that had been used for racing and this had half the caliper ground away. I don't really fancy this..anybody know of any brake solutions so i can get round this. cheers

I've fitted 13" KN Minators front and rear on my vortx.

The 6" Caterham offset (ET23) clears my front and rear calipers

I'm using 13 x 7 Wellers on my sierra hubs (front and rear discs). Either a tiny bit of caliper grinding, or a set of small spacers will be needed.

Ive 13x6 minlites bought from an ex caterham owner and they fit very nicely over sierra calipers. The wheels weights rub slightly but when I get the tyres changed i'll get the weights moved also
