Good brake upgrade for Datsun 1200??

So have changed my mind about the size of wheels I want to run. Have 15s but have decided to go down to 13s, this way I can basically run any size rim I want, and better gearing with smaller tyres.
Problem is I have a full set of gtst discs and that I was going to use but 13s will never fit over them.
Car has a 12a pp rotary in it so will need semi decent brakes.

Probably end up with wilwood dynalites or similar but don't know which factory discs to use.

Will s13 discs with the low profile wilwoods fit inside 13in super lites or they a little big?

Don't have much Nissan knowledge so any help is much appreciated.

I don't know if they'll clear your wheels or not, but mine clear the 13 inch tridens on my S13 brakes. If you wanna bring a wheel round to test fit on my car to see, flick me a txt some time.

bought wilwood dynalite calipers out of the states with adjustable reverse swing pedal box and compact mastercylinders.

then used mitsubishi galant front discs and spun up custom spacers then made caliper brackets. works mint.
