What matters for rubbing (the whole reason for rolling fenders) is the size (including width) of the tires, not the wheels.

As for wheel width, again, you're better off deciding on the size tires you want to use, and then seeing which widths are approved and finding something that won't make them too stretched or bulging. Generally, with an ITR, the best sizes are:

195/55-15 or 205/50-15 on 15x6 or 15x6.5 (or, for the 205 Azenis, 15x7)
205/45-16 or 215/45-16 on 16x7 or 16x7.5
205/40-17 on 17x7 or 17x7.5

The above is for street use. For the track or autocross, you might want something wider - or you might not; I'm happy with 205/50 R comps on 15x6 stock wheels - but it's not going to matter on the street.

 

what tires are recommended for a 16x8 rim in this case? i'm assuming 215/40 or 215/45. does anyone have pictures of their cars mildly lowered with 8 inch rims please.

The proper sizes for an ITR are 205/45-16 or 215/45-16. Unless your car is really slammed, either should fit without rubbing. 215/40 is too small.

For either size, you're better off with 16x7 than 16x8. On 16x8, the tires will look stretched, and they won't protect the lip of your rims against curbing.

 

well i have a set of 8 inch wide rims already so i am seeing if anyone is running a wide rim also and if they have any doubt

 

They don't happen to be the Regamaster Brights would they?

So get a set of 215/45-16 Falken Azenis RT-615 (Vulcan has 'em) and take your own picture!

 

225/40/16 are nicey..... you may need to roll the fender a bit depending on your offset...
