You're not getting much of an aesthetic benefit (i.e. concavity) with an 8" wheel, aside from looking slightly beefier from behind.

Overall I'd suggest 17x7's with a proper offset or spacers with a nice set of tires.


These are pretty concave for an 8" wide wheel. I kind of like them. And a 235/40/17 Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 doesn't hurt the speedo too bad. My only concern is the +35 offset. I keep seeing people say that going to low from the stock offset can mess up handling.
