[V8] optional wheel & tire sizes

[32VQUATTRO]

Not sure how you guys are clearing with 255's. I was rinning 225/40/18 on 
18x9 rims with a 35 et and I may been able to fit my pinky between the tire 
tread and steering arm. I am now running 235/40/18 on 18x8.5 with a 35 et. 
and the fit is perfect.
