This is the best solution I've seen. The wheel disk overlaps the tire sidewall. This is regarded negatively, but it suspect next to the bead the sidewall doesn't flex much and the wheel disk is probably as flexible as the tire.



On my Notchback Type III, I ran 145s on 5½" rims, drifter kids these days run rims wider than the tread.
