Does anybody have experience mounting a 14" wheel on a square arch Spridget?  I 
know (or at least think I know) the regular size is a 13"x5" wheel.  I was 
thinking about getting some mini-lites or a copy thereof and thought the car 
might look even better with a slightly lower profile tire on a 14" wheel.  I 
don't even know if anybody makes a 14" in the appropriate bolt pattern and 
offset.
   
  Does anybody know of a 14"x5" minilite-looking wheel with the same offset and 
bolt pattern?  
   
  Could maybe a properly-offset 14"x5.5" wheel work or is that not advisable 
for some reason?
   
  Has anybody done this or seen anybody do it and not have to mess with the 
rear fenders?  
   
  I have no problem with 13's if nothing is out there, as custom-made wheels 
are not an option on my budget.  It's just that I've been hanging plus-1 or 
plus-2 sized wheels on my toy cars for over 20 years now - I just love the look.
   
  Thanks,
