I'd say just go for the new wheels. If you mount on the 8's you'll sit there wondering about your tires and you won't have the peace of mind that this extra set is supposed to bring you.

Between the spacers and wear concerns, there are just too many factors that make it not worth it in my opinion. If you weren't going to buy the new set of wheels this time around, I bet you'll end up dropping the dough for it in the near future. Get 'em while they're cheap.


I ran 245/40/18 on the stock fronts before I switched to the ARC8s and found a decent amount of should wear, compensated with letting some of the pressure go but still found in spirited driving the wear would continue to tear up the shoulders of the tire. There's some wiggle room for it, but it wasn't ideal. Just my experience, these were on Conti's.
