      Yeah, I have 17x8 with 215 profile tires. It stretches them a little bit. I like the look. As far as safety, since you have less meat in contact with the road, your handling is mildly compromised. Something to at least be aware of if anything.

        9 inches wide with 215 series works fine for me.

          id imagine itd be pretty damn dangerous to your lips if your parallel parking skills arent up to par

                it's is safe. Looks like shit, compromises performance, and makes expensive wheels vulnerable to damage. But it is safe...

                          Stretched tires = no sidewall flex.

                              same to you. i never said anything about the wheels. i was talking about the shitty stretched tires, much like you are running.:shock: i ran stretched tires when i had 17x8, so what, i still thought they were shitty.
