Will the stock 17" tyres fit over an 8" wide wheel?

Yes, those are ACTUALLY different. noticing the spokes being SLIGHTLY more concave from the 9 to an 8 is simply imagination, seeing the spoke curve and poke out on an 8" and be almost straight on a 9" makes an actual difference

8 is flat, 9 is concave

I'm glad we agree RPF1s are "actually different." How did you come to that conclusion? By reading people's descriptions of them? Or by seeing pictures of them mounted on cars? I'm hoping it's the latter.

In other words, thanks for the input, but unfortunately I'm not willing to buy a set of rims based on someone's description of "slightly more concave."

Again, if anyone has additional pics of 17x8's, please post them.

any pics using the stock tires? I know on 8.25 wide the tires look really funny on stock ride height, maybe the 8" not as bad?

the 9s just look so much better than the 8s IMO

Interested because I bought rally armor and then sold them. The size just wouldn't grow on me but those look way better...

Hi sorry for delay they are they are small mudflaps like these without the logos

Oh and my wheels are 8 x17 error further back.

Universal fit ones? I guess you have to line it up and drill the holes? Where did you get?
