The 239's should fit under 13" rims. Oh if you mean steelies like mine, then they're 14".

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Pretty sure they will fit under those, if they're the 239's.

yes it will all bolt on no bother, wheels should be fine.  Just need to swap the calipers n mounting bolts, then 239 vented pads n discs fit straight on. (calipers on a 1.3 are too small for vented setup)
