Unanswered: Closeness of big brakes and 13" rims

This is an alternate shot showing how close they get.

I never noticed the stamped size on the original rim till I saw this picture, either.

See attachment.

Are the calipers off a 75 Manta? If so, you'd need the rims off a 75 as well, if I'm correct. If I'm not someone will know. Gene Smith comes to mind, as well as a couple of others who should know. Jarrell

These are only staying on temporarily. I plan on replacing them with 15" BBS or a cool looking 5 spoke I saw(IF I can find out who made it). But definately 15"
