Hi Jim,
I have 6 inch wide centrelock minlites on my BJ8, with 195 tyres.=20
Have had these for 18 years.=20
I love the look.=20
I had 5.5 in wires with 195 tyres previously, and the rears rubbed on hard c=
ornering.=20
The beauty of a centre lock minilite is you can put an alloy plate between t=
he wheel centre and the splined hub, and effectively move the wheel back ins=
ide the front guard. You can't do that with a 6 in wide wire wheel.=20

Best
Chris
