[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 147443, member: 264"] 195 on an 8" rim will be a stretch. You can guarantee some tears the first time your anywhere near a curb :cry: [url]https://tyrestretch.com/?s=8.0+195+40+R17+[/url] I'm sure theres more than 8mm clearance between the wheel rim and the body/suspension so that should work. ET50 should work for the tyre, as its only 5mm different to standard. So, the actual tread will only be 5mm further outboard (plus a mm or so to allow for the stretch). Don't expect 205/40/17 to fit without any rubbing. It may work, but I' not sure :? Being as Compomotive are based in Wolverhampton, why not go direct?
