The vehicle currently has tyres and rims size 145 R 13 which are not readily available localy in Kenya, so I need to change to what is easily available. Any rim wider than 145mm touches the shock absorbers

You need to buy some wheel spacer kits - they come in various sizes and fit over the wheel nut bolts onto the brake drum outer casing!
In UK they cost about £20 - you just need to make sure you buy the right size to allow clearance

First, you need to measure your rim with...what you are giving us it the Tire size and a 155R13 is tall and wider than a 145R13.
Here are your specs:
145R13 is 22.4 inches tall and 5.7 inches wide.
155R13 is 23 inches tall and 6.1 inches wide.
You need spacers or new rims that kicks the offset away from the strut.
Good Luck,
