13"s will only fit over 239mm brakes plus will screw the gearing up.

That's what he means!

Gearing is from engine crank to the drive wheels

The gearing will be a right cock up, you will running out revs and only doing about 80mph.

All to do with rolling radius, standard size tyres are fine but your looking at lower profiles and stretched which will affect it by a big margin.
