you can easily keep your stock tire and put it on an 8" rim or a 6" rim, the change in overall diameter will have a slight effect on the speedo/actual speed variation but who gives a fuck
centerbore is nice but not vital as long as you put the wheels on correctly and not torque the first nut to 500lb without even threading on the other ones.
and offset has no effect on what kind of tire you choose (unless we go into extremes or hellaflush)

While i know what youre getting at, lets be honest. Putting a 215 on a 6 inch rim is just goofy and itll handle like ass. An 8 inch wide is a slightly better fit. But itll look just as odd.
For the centerbore. I was always under the impression/taug ht that it was pretty important that the wheel properly sit on the lip of the hub, and not just be held on with lugs. The sruds arent meant to be taking shear forces. I used to be a mechanic . So im not completly talking out of my ass. I HAVE seen studs break like this before. Not trying to bust your balls, just dont want people thinking that this is "okay". Im also under the mindset that when i buy rims i dont care if the stock tires fit or not. Since i always run summer/winter rubber anyways.
