It depends on the looks... I've seen lots of AE86 with 13 inch minilites and they looked great if you like the Irish look. Cool

13 to 15 fit good, depends on the "look" you are looking for.
More than 15 is not a good idea.
a good offset makes also the difference.

It came out of the factory with 13 inch wheels, so why would it be too small? Dumb question

Maybe if you are talking about the looks it may differ per wheel and style. Wink

In some markets the AE86 came with factory 13" wheels, and in others
with factory 14" wheels. I use 14" for everyday, and 13" for performance
because of the slightly lower gearing and ride height.

Its true that if you are used to the look of modern cars with 15, 16 or 17"
wheels, you will think that 13's look strange. But that is what cars looked
like 25 years ago Smile
