10" wide and 13" Tall. Your having us all on. 6x10 is wide enough or even 5.5x13 easy safe sizes. They are a job for the Mitchlin Man.

Help on big wheels. Revolution race split rims 10x13.£169 each. Minilight 10x13.£155 each. I do not think they make a kit to fit them on a Mini. Group7 Arches from Huddersfield spares with give you 3.75" hang over at £60 for 4.

I'm just curious, where have you found tyres in that size, and what price were they?
And are they road legal?

Is that each? 
Why do you wish to fit so wide tyres anyway? You're going to need arms of steel to park the thing (assuming this is a road car), and Continentals aren't exactly great...
