It might look a little funny, but you won't have any problems. Perfect fit for an 8" wide wheel would actually be more like a 235/40R18.

i just placed a order for those rims , came out to almost $1000 so im just going to use my stock size tires. I went to a rim shop this morning hoping to find something instead of ordering online but they didnt have anything i like. All they would say is " 5x110 is a tuff bolt pattern for rims " and they wanted to offer me only $150 for the rims i have now.
