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?

I would of thought a 245 on an 8" rim, standard rims are 7" and the 225 fits just right imo.

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

If you are pushing the limits I'd choose your tyre and then google it with "specifications" to see if the manufacturer approves it for 7" rims.
