Default Pride - What other wheels fit?

I'm currently autotesting a Pride, and may autosolo and trial it.

I feel it may benefit from fitting larger diameter wheels than the standard 12".

I've got the information that the standard wheels have a PCD-114.3mm, offset 35-42 (mm?), centre bore-67.1mm.

It would seem the Hyundai Atoz is fitted with a suitable 13" wheel.

Does anyone know of any other cheap alternative that would be readily available from a scrapyard and still fit under the wheelarches?

if you wanna use higher number of rim size reduce the profile e.g. for 13" rim its 175/70/R13 but for 14" rims use 175/65/R14

Update.

I was out the other day and stopped in a lay-by for a slurp of coffee. I could see a couple of wheels in a ditch with what looked like maybe 114mm PCDs. I knew I'd be back that way soon, so next time took a tape measure with me.

I fell flat on my back and had to remove several thorns (the blood will wash out) but they were the right PCD, centre hole diameter and as far as I can tell the same offset. It took me some time to extricate the wheels and me from the ditch.

They've got 145/70 X 13s fitted which seem to give more grip than my perished old 165/70 X 12s, but I've tried them and they wheels don't foul anything.

I'm doing an autosolo at the weekend, so I'll use them for that and if the tyres are good enough I may be tempted to do at least one autotest on them before I try new tyres.

You couldn't make it up could you?
