| Alex (ninja_alex) has some 8J x 17" wheels up for sale IIRC - rub a little bit apparently on big suspension travel moments, but generally, they're fine.

 I've seen 205s stretched onto an 8J rim.... Doesn't look too good...

| Thanks, tried them on with 225/45 only a slight rub on inner arch but didn't try for suspension travel, 215/40 would work fine I'll keep looking. |
