If you're lucky, you might come across a set of the late '60s 14x8" 
Olds 442 wheels that will mount a 265R60 tire without puckering the 
sidewalls... if you're into wheels that wide.    Let it be known that 
the 8" Olds rallys aren't all that light.   That's unsprung 
weight.   But you can hang a pretty wide tire on them.    Got a set 
on  the '65 ragtop.
