I would think maybe in the neighborhood of 18's would sound more realistic. Then again 17's maybe able to clear it. Not too sure tho. 13in rotors are huge!

Re: question about brakes/rims (CiViC KiD)

depends on the caliper design. I've some issues with a 11.5" rotor with Wilwood billet dynalites(SMC Products kit) clearing some 15" wheels. The inside dia. of the wheel right behind the spokes/face of the wheel is crucial. I got it to work though.
Prospeed(on this board) had some big rotors under 17" wheels I believe.
