Also satisfied with my BOP 15" RIMS
Those do look great.

I am thinking about what I want to put on my '67 GP ragtop. I have more than enough 8-lugs, but my interest is in usability of them on a resto-mod car, not a stocker. My drums all need re-lining, and I don't want to sink the $$$ into them until I know I can get the wheels and rubber I want first.

I see that BOP offers the new 8-lug wheels in almost any diameter, width and offset. I find this . . . attractive. Has anyone gone bigger than a 235 cross section tire on a 15 or 16 inch BOP rim? I know, I should just contact BOP.

I have 255/60-15s on my '67 GP hardtop, and would actually like to go a bit wider on the rears for my ragtop.
