there's one place i've heard of where this guy can weld a 15'' barrel on to your 14'' steelies..

8'' wide with 3'' lip.

well no one on here knows, but if you find a machine shop or something, you can ask them if they can help you.

find some 15'' steelies, some 14'' 4x100 steelies, ask them to cut the lips off the 15''s then weld a larger lip onto your 4x100 steelies. and cut them down the center to weld another 2 inches.

keep searching.
