You'd need to space the wheel ridiculously to make them clear the caliper. Grinding the caliper to make them fit is a nono because they are made to tolerences and to aid heat dissipation.

7.9" brakes would give you a bit more choice, but still not a lot. MB Split Rims from (mostly) MLMotorsport clear 7.9's but you're looking at 800 for the set. You need 7.5" brakes to be able to run tens the way they were designed to run. 8.4" were designed for 12's.

For the price of 13's you could buy a nice Cooper S brake set up and find some tens with rubber though I bet. If you want 10's get tens, but do it properly.

im gonna save up for 10's for one day, and the cooper s brake conversion. much more worth while than having to settle for a limited choice like craig says

Narrower arches would be the easiest solution, loads of people fit wide wheels, then even wider arches, losing the whole wide 'poke that they intended to have. =]
