Wellers used to do 10" steels with strenghening struts welded to support the hoops and stop excess load thru the hub of the wheel which was prone to cracking with anything much more than a 8", TBH the width of the rim is dictated by the tire size that is available, 235s are findable, but I would think not easy, gone are the days when you could run Dunlop Racing Tires on the street and get away with it by buffing the "For Racing Purpose only" off the sidewall, the compounds today dont allow the longevity for street use,

Yes check your tyre sizes first as the wide ones come + go like the weather . Also most of the very wide road legal 13 inch tyres have a baloon profile so you'll be jacking the back up to fit the wheels and not lowering it !!!!!!!

These are both 50 tyrewall the fronts are 175/50/13 & the rear 235/50/13 check out the difference!! The 50 is a percentage of the width which is mm

The '50' number on the tyre is for example in a 175/50 tyre it means 50% of 175mm
