I looked at getting torque thrusts with grey centers when I " wheeled " up my car.. could NOT get a 8" wheel with a BS that would work.. 4.25 BS on an 8" will NOT work on a 66-67....
I ended up with 5.25 BS on these 8 " wheels.... I custom ordered them at the time.. To do it again it would be 5.125 BS,,,
But then I think I would just do 7" on the rear and save myself alot of hassle

Looks real nice; glad youre happy with them.
As an aside... I was noticing your tyres and really liked the look of the tread pattern. So I thought to myself. "Hey! 'Sooner or later youll own Generals' [an old ad line from the US if that doesnt ring a bell with our non-US members], think I'll look into getting those when I put bigger hoops on my car." BITD, these 'types' of Generals were all over; General sponsored the Street Machine Nationals in the 80s, sponsored some [road] race cars in the 90s, are the spec tyre for JeepSpeed [XJs rule btw] and the last two sets of tyres I have purchased for other vehicles just happened to be General. But guess what? Those are apparently not available in America...
I know theyre owned by Continental now, but youd think we would be able to get this tyre here...

Oh man, this is creazy...
Yeah Something in the world I don't understand.
This General grabber HP are for some Mopar guys in Europe ugly Offroad tyres on a muscle Car. But I Likes the tyres and also the Handling and wet Performance
And they are cheap Like 100 Dollar for one tyre. Then you need to Order Some tyres in Europe
everything Else of Carparts I need to Order in the US ;)Similar threads
