Another data point for you.

I just ran my first track day on my new setup, 18x8.5 PF01 wheels with 225/40/18 Hankook V12 K120, i.e. the new model. Square setup.

I wasn't really trying to go fast since my daughter was along for the ride, and I took 5 seconds off my previous best lap time. Granted, I am a newb, but the difference in handling with the new wheels and tires was even better than expected.

The 225 is a little stretched on the 8.5", but would probably be perfect on an 8".
