    13" rims

    Has anyone fit 13" rims on the latest generation of Mirage? I have seen posts stating that 13's will not fit the uprated brake rotors, but several online tire shops list 13" steel rims as an option of the 2019 model at least.

    Thanks

    13 inch rims will only fit on the 2014-2015 model years. 2016 onward have a larger diameter rotor (same brake pads). 13 inch rims won’t fit.

    I have both factory & aftermarket 14" steel rims. There's no way a 13" steel rim would clear everything on my 2017 Mirage. 13" rims would probably fit on the rear, but 14" rims just barely clear everything up front.

    I speak from experience: 13s don't clear the front rotors on 2017–2020.

    If you really wanted 13's just get the rotors and caliper brackets off a junked 14 or 15.

    But why waste the good rubber and steel you already have.

    I'm sure there's folks here who will trade the necessary bits.

    As mentioned 17+ have larger rotor and different caliper bracket that will hit a 13" wheel.

    Quattro tires website used to show 13" as a option for winter wheel and tire package for a 2015 but now they don't....

    If you pick up some 2014-2015 rotors and caliper brackets you can run 13's in the front. The rear brakes are larger as well for 2017 but I don't think they're big enough to stop you from fitting 13" wheel.

    Edit: just read some other reply's. Don't mind my repeat comments.
