Anybody runniny 17x8's?
I know most people get 17x7's when they get new rims, but I was wondering if anyone has gone with 17x8's and had any issues with rubbing.

You should be able to fit them if you get the correct offset.
There are a lot more wheels that come in 17x7 than 17x8. That's probably the main reason you don't see too many people running them.

I have 17x7 with 15mm or 9/16" spacers in the rear. I wouldn't hesitate to run 8" in the rear. Front would be a tight fit though.
