No,8.0" wide is pushing it.I wouldnt go no wider than 7.5 you can try 8.0's but that is pushing it.

I have 17x8 w/ 235-45-17. No problems at all.

I think he combo will fit. I wouldn't try to go wider than 235 though.

No not at all. Here's a pic. It's an old pic. I have Kuhmos now. These have Firestones. I have Eibach/Tokico/Addco RSB.

As far as handling. lol! All I can say is ask Dirksmooth. I gave him a ride to convince him to get the RSB. Needless to say, I was successful. hehe.

Man look's like I will be shopping for some 8" when I get some rims.Do you think they would have a problem if you went with a lower spring than eibach.Like intrax? BTW nice ride Jeff.Do you have clear corners on it now?

Jason Rose has some springs that are lower than Eibachs. I can't say 100% if Intrax are okay but I'm gonna guess they will work okay. Check this link for pics of all the Rustang rims that will fit. No I decided against the clear corners. I hear too many stories about how cheap they are made and how older sets are seperating now.

8" rims will fit with 235/45 tires on them providing that they have the proper offset.

for example momo arrows in 17X8 with afor mentioned tires by a person with more nissan knowledge than 95% of the people on this board.

before you contradict the elders you may want to do a search.

Good choice! I have had mine on for about 3 years and they are seperated like a ****.I need to super glue them back and paint the edges.They are a PITA but they look good on black.For your color I think the orange is fine.
