Depending on your tire sizes, you can get 155/80/13's which are the highest standard profile for a 13" rim, which equal 22.8 diameter.

This is roughly equivalent to 195/55, 185/60, 175/65, 165/65, and 165/70R14 Tires, none of which are more than .5 inches (nominal measurement, each tire mfr and brand will vary) larger or smaller than the 155/80R13.

The 155/80 is close to equal with a 175/70R13, a common tire size on small cars.
