Well stretch refers to how the tire mounts to the rim, and poke refers to how the wheel interfaces with the car. An 8" wide rim isn't going to poke, you're probably looking at 9" in order to do that. I have no idea why you would want to stretch a tire on only an 8" wide rim, but you'd probably be looking at a 225 wide or less. Most people stretch the tire because they have to for fitment reasons so that the tire doesn't rub on the fender. If you stretch a tire and are only slightly lowered, people are probably going to make fun of you .

I'd suggest looking at the stanced thread, lots of good ideas on rim and tire combos to get what you are looking for.

It's the new dance craze, haven't you heard? It's sort of like scream and shout, only it's not

but yeah if you really want to stretch on a 8in rim, which i wouldnt. i dont like stretch regardless, you're gonna want like 195/40 or lower

You don't have time? Or you don't want to look?
