I have a TR4A and have taken off my tires to get new ones.  I have some
vintage compomotive alloy rims.
I had thought that the rims were somewhat wider than stock (stock is 4.5"?)
 Hwever, to my surprise these rims
are 4.5".  Currently 185/70 tires are fitted, and I want to use 195 width. 
For that width, I probably need 5.5" rims.
That is no problem, but what should I use as the offset and backspace?
