He says that the 13" tires are going to a thing of the

owns early models and says you can't go and buy a set of rims like you 
can a late model to go to a 14".  What has been the experience of other 
members.  Is this just his thoughts?

There are lots of 14" wheels for early models - Not that you would have to 
change from 13s to 14s. Many Japanese cars and several American cars used the 4 
on 4.5" wheel bolt pattern and 14" wheels, and even in the right backspace. 
(Think Rear Whel Drive!) Okay, very few new cars use 13" tires, except really 
small cars. Finding larger size 13 inch tires may be a quest - somewhere down 
the line. Sears has plenty, and the bigger companies all make 13s. - Seth Emerson
