Hubby Unregistered H	Hi I am looking into getting new wheels and have found a set but they are 8" wide. Will that affect the handling? I assume I would need to run min 215 tyres on them? Opposed to 205 standard, will this cause the car to tramline? Or make it uncomfortable? Andrew

Hubby Unregistered H	is it safe to fit a 205 - 215 tyre to a 8" rim?
