235/60 on a 14×5.5?

By
What has prompted this question is that I was going to sell a new set of BFGs (2-235/60/14s and 2-205/70/14s) that was slated for an A-body and that project is now going to a new home. I didn’t even consider using them on the ’68 GTX because of the wheel width (5.5"). Recently, I have heard of people running this size on their 5.5" wheels. The mnfr suggests a 6"-8" rim. Is anyone successfully running this size tire on their 5.5" wheels and is there a tremendous amount of sidewall bowing? Of course, I am concerned with the fitment of the 235s and not the 205s. Any pics would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
