Viper runs 13" IIRC, but that's because it has 500 HP stock.

hmm... according to that site, it looks like it has a 13" rim, maybe because the rim is so small, it makes it look very wide, unlike the viper where it is probably running 19" or something, having it 13.6" wouldn't be as noticible

And SLR has 13-inchers as well, though it's a bit more than 500 bhp.
