wider wheels ..
van wheels are your only option at 14" that I am aware of
if you go to 13" some mg .. midget (i think happy to be corrected on this one)
some companies have in the past produced banded wheels.. but not sure i like the idea of these second hand unless you can be assured they were produced by a reputable company.

but that is it... hence the money van wheels go for..

4.5 inches.

There are some wheels on the market that use toyota (i recall) 14 inch rims, with the central pressing cut out, and a minor centre welded in, so it retains the minor look, with the minor stud pattern, and can take the minor hubcap. but it's wider so can take wider tyres.

there were a set for sale at the national, with tyres for about £400.

i think Minor Developments sold them, not sure if they still do them.
