Why do you need 8" wide rims for street driving? So you can hydroplane like crazy? I autox on 6.5 inchers and that's almost enough for me (I'd like to try 7's). Do some research before you decide what you want to do.

A wider tire means more surface area which turns into less pressure on the surface of the road and more area for water to be removed from. If the water cannot squirt out from under the tire quickly enough, the tire will lift off the ground and be supported by only the water.

imo tires sticking out 2/3 inches from the car look stupid and make people think that you just dont know how to choose tires or rims....i saw a kid in a civic with 15 inch chrome spoke rims and they stuck out 2 inches from the fender on each side of the car, looked stupid as hell
