Istr finding this out a few years back, by looking at a trailer parts catalogue - Indespension, for example. They're good at saying what wheels fit.
real mini had ten inch wheels surely? establish what the pcd of the hub is, mini is 4 inch, so suitable 13 inch wheels might come from a marina, minor or viva hc or a late metro, or even a dedicated new wheel from a trailer place. you will need to check you have suitable size studs for the bigger wheel as mini used tiny studs.
Late ones had 12" wheels to fit front disc brakes (I think you could get discs for 10" but they're rare). Our 1996 Equinox had 12" steels.
I think the last coopers had 13" alloys.
I'd guess a Metro would be a good try.

Mk1 'S' used 10" with discs.

165/80 R13 4 ply Trailer tyre with 4 stud 100mm PCD wheel rimany one know a car that it will fit so i can go down the brakers yard thanks ken
That's the one. Hen's teeth though.
So not mini at all :) many smaller vauxhall wheels are 100mm pcd and 13 inch. be careful not to get 98mm or 102mm (fiat and ford) as the studs will just go on, but will fail in use.
A handy page with a good bit of info on wheels/cars is here:

4-stud VW are 4x100 as well.
