Prepare to catch flak for wanting to stretch tire, haha.

willtheyfit.com will give you a good idea.

 

Instead of giving flak for the desire to stretch, my main question is why, with the emphasis on WTF?

Looks like ass as well as being bad for your tires as well.

 

just some exploring, I do not want anything ridiculous like vw's that get slammed and everything, but I'm keeping thick sidewalls so it should be okay.

 

and lets be honest, it won't be that much of a stretch I'm not wanting to slap a spare tire on or something

 

I would run a 215 / 40 / 18 tire, 8" wide tires call for 235mm width. 30mm of stretch is a bit much imo

 

well, I may need to get my fenders rolled and pulled because I'm getting V2's this month and its going down, alot

 

I run 205's on a 8" wheel but its only because I pretty much have to or else it doesn't fit.


Regardless, I pretty much have nothing but dislike for Volk products, I can only imagine how bad a replica of a horrid wheel is.

running pegs?

 

I've run 215s on 8J wheels in winter, and it doesn't look stretched at all. If you're going to do this, you need to go 205 or less. The definition of hard-parking/useless modifications though, compromising the single (well, four) component of your vehicle that touches the pavement.

Ditto. Have look. 215/50R17 Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 on 17x8 Pegs.

 

I think I'll just go with the 215's then. Don't want to look like an xc or something but still functional

 

17x9 hayaku's fit with no modifications (no spacers, etc). I'm sure 18x9 are the same.
