215 wide tire on 8.25 wide rim question
From everything Im seeing, 215 wide tires will fit onto a set of 8.25 wide rims. My question is will this still be ok for auto crossing/tracking my car? What kind of difference in handling characteristic might I expect by running this setup? The rims I went with are XXR 530 17x8.25 +35. I still have quite a bit of life left in my Michelin PSSs that are currently on my stock wheels. I want to swap them over and use them up before I drop more money and go wider.

215 should fit a 8.25. It'll be streched, but should be fine. I'm putting 215/45 on my 9" wide wheels. My brother has the same setup on his skyline.

Where do you get eight-and-a-quarter inch wide wheels?

it's borderline... I wouldn't recommend it, but you'll probably be fine.

There will be no stretch at all, don't know why people are saying that it is borderline or a stretch at all.

I did it. Same wheels, just with a +25 offset.
A few thousand miles on the street and multiple drift events. I had no issues whatsoever. Had a very very small stretch.

^ Same, no issues at all. Drifted, Canyon runs, 60 mile commute. Nothing wrong.
