You know, you could ask Suby Dude yourself. I talk to him regularly on AIM.


They will fit.

I would not use a 235 tire on an 8" wide wheel. Go for a 225.

Hub Bore:
56.1

I wouldn't do a 225 tire, i have a 225 on a 7.5" wide wheel and it looked slightly stretched. I would def go with the 235 on an 8" wide wheel...IMO though...

I have 8.5 wheels with 225's and they look like most OEM fitments. Then again, some tires do run wide and some narrow.

I had SSR competition 17x8 +48 offset last summer with falken azenis 235/45/17 and the meat on the rubber looked pretty wide. I know Toyos/kumhos usually have narrow look compare to falken/bridgestones tires.

hub bore will have to be trimmed to accomodate the 64.1 centerbore.

I have Kumho SPT's on my 8.5" wide wheels and they look OEM. They are not completely square, some what rounded sidewall but I would not step up to 235 with that tire. Bridgestone's always appeared to run slightly narrow to me.
