Urgggh. Not really going to get alot of stretch on an 8. Just go a 185 60.

What do you want stretch for? 185/60 will give the best tyre choice. No point stretching on a 175 or smaller or otherwise you pretty much at factory tyre widths again.

If your looking at Federals still pretty much all your going to get is a 185/55 in a 14. Wont really be any stretch.

You have a 4age. Def's 185.

It's bosozoku. 'bozo' as people like to shorten it and misspell it, by it's self is a different meaning.

good luck getting a bosozoku look with 8's...

but yes as above go 185/60's. i went down the 175/65 path becuase free is free, and it looks wak.
