I do but when I bought them, I couldnt find them staggered so I went with 8.5 all around. Now my dads looking for rims so Im thinking we ll buy a set of 8s and we can swap two rims. My front tire is stretched and its been bugging me forever!

What sizes of front tires are you running? I wouldn't think the stock 225 would look stretched on a 8.5" wide rim. Unless you're running 205's?

I think it could also depend on the brand of tire. Remember how my old Falken Ziex 512 tires always had that stretched look, even with 225 on an 8" rim? Switching to the General Exclaims fixed that look tremendously for me.

But optimally, I think you would want 235 width on an 8.5 inch rim.

225 in the front 255 in the rear....its not extreme but enough to annoy me cause the front tires are more rounded and rears fit perfectly....i feel like the rim sticks out just a tad [yes im crazy i know]....im running toyo t1r's

all good, only reason it caught my eye is b/c i'm about to order some v710s with 8.5 in the front which will require a 235/40 and i know that's going to most likely rub :T
