Yeah a 205 would Def. Do it. You want pics just Google "hella flush" 17x8.

now take the measures of the wheels and I realized that was 8.5 wide, I was thinking of putting up front and 225/45 rear 215/45 with these measures are seen as the example of previous images so hellaflush or there to put a narrower as 205 or 215, but I hellaflush style for this is that there have to put measures narrow

sell them and get wider rims.

205 on a 8 blows for the strech look. Ive had tonns of 205's on my 16x8's and non ever looked that stretch. 205/40s look kinda streched but not much. 8.5 is a little better, but if thats the look your going for your a lot better off getting at least 17x9s all around. i have a pic some where of my friends 17x9.5 battles, 225/45/17s stretched awesome and looked great. A little big but it was just to burn them any way.

S13's can do 17x9F 17x10 R like its nothing, you have a lot more potential. S14s can go wider just as easy.
