If you are ok with steel wheels. Late model 914s came with a steel sport wheel that was 5.5x15" ET40 (VW had similiar but offset was only ET34). They are simple/inexpensive to reset the mounting surface to get more off set. Looks like you could get at least 1/2 inch. If you wanted to increase width at same time - suspect 6" would work. They can be painted or powder coated for different look (as below). Stock they were dull grey - but a chrome powdercoat would add bling.
Here's a set on ebay - but same cost as the new 5" offset CIP1 Fuchs!

Looking at Fuch type wheels, 5 lug. The 914 styles are more flat faced than I would like
