If so what size tires and pics would be great, lol

 

i think there is a bunch of guys running 16x8 might have a better turn out on the wheel and tire forum

 

16X8 CE28N with 225/45-16 A048R

 

Better question...why do you think you want to run a 16x8?

8" wide wheels on a DC2 will work, but the only advantage you'll gain from the width is if you choose a proper tire for a specific application.

 

I used to run 16x8 spoon Sw388 wheels and I didn`t like way they looked on the car, cant go with little offset because they`ll hit from the back and with the right offset they will stick out too far. plus you can`t lower the car very much with that width of a rim.

 

i wanted 225 45 16 also on mine, but just went with a full set of 215 45 16 as my rears are still 7"

the 215 on the 8" at the front is ok i guess as it reduces the rub and tucks inside the factory guard with a small stretch.. however for the right purpose i need to run 225 45 16

but i guess 215 45 is ok as this retains the factory 98 spec size tyre, which seems to work on the 98's

 

Big Phat R...does that tire size rub???

 

an 8 inch wide wont rub at stick height i dont think but if your lowered then you will run into rubbing problems, alot of guys have to roll the rears and the one pictured above has flared front fenders on it.

 

they will rub if you have a stock suspension.

the springs on my car are 4X as stiff as stock -- so I have very little wheel travel.

the rear fenders are rolled and repainted.

the front fenders have been cut and fender flares added. I'm also running a 22mm spacer on the front

 

i am running 16X8 TE37 with a tire size 215 45 16!!!!! also have buddy club racing spec fully down the only place i was rubbing was on the rear, but a fender roller took care of that
