[s-cars] wheels - 17x8.5 et35 w/(255/45/17)

[Mark Strangways]

The advantage to 8" width rims with these tires is that they add the
appropriate curb / wife protectors with out buying it in the price of the
tire.
I also like to see a bit of tire past the rim, if you understand what I mean

Just my 2 cents YMMV
