what offsets are they in?

i would say you need to be looking at a 195/45 or 195/50 profile tyre for a stretched look on the 8 inch wide ones.

I don't know the offsets I will have to find it again.

So you think the 8 inch ones would look best on 195/45 or 50

Would they stick out to much? Still road legal?
Thanks for you help I just want to get the right ones.

If you have a 8inch wide!- the best offset for them is et20!!- tooo low!

But

You can get a 7inch wide in a et35!

So the 7inch wide in a et35 would be the best for lowering it and no arch work?

195/45/14 across the 8"

Maybe try going down a profile for 7's to get a stretch

175/50/14 across the 7"

It would be best for lowering! get a stretched tyre on it aswell!- would look ace!

You would however have to do some arch mods to accomodate the et35's! but it will work!
