Tires 17" On Rd1 ?

why the hell would you put a 205 on a 8" wheel? the tire would be all stretched and retarded looking.
i had 205s on my 8" wheels on my srt for like a week and then bought wider tires.
i dont think a 8" wheel with a 35 offset will work on a tib unless your on stock suspension.
but if your going to get a 205 tire, get a 7" wide wheel to match the tire

Vehicle: 2001 hyundai tiburon
7.5" in terms of width of wheel is the most i would ever go.
I run 205/40/17's on a 17x7.5" rim with offset of 45.
if you can find a rim that is 17 x7 with a offset of 40 running a 205/40/17 is what the norm is i think done on the tiburon. at least, that is what i normally see and is known to work the best.
even two people with the same wheel tire combo, one will have a problem with rubbing, the other won't. it never seems to amaze me some of the querky shit we find with these tiburon's sometimes.

Vehicle: MC + RD2 + AW11 + 944 = 4x Win
I have a 17x7 with a 205/40 and running stock equipment, but the offset is 38mm. Still I haven't had any adverse effects of the extra 2mm or thinner tires. I wanted 215's but the cost was almost double what I paid. This far though I have no complaints.
