i just bought sport max 522's 16x7 for front and 16x8 for the rear.. im now looking for tires to fit and im come acrossed these Kumho ECSTA SPT's for $45 a tire (alot of the grip guys swear by this tire for its price to quality).. they are 215/40 and i know they will fit my 7" flush.. but what of my 8"?? if i get the tires any wider or with a bigger wall, the price goes up pretty high..

thanks

215 on an 8 is do-able. You might want to up the side wall though.Depending on the look you're going for, no less than a 45.Maybe a 50.
