I may not sell my T1-R's so I am considering getting a set of rims for em. I wanted 3G TL wheels but the tires are 215/50/17 so I think they would be too stretched on an 8" wheel.

Looking for 17x7.5 but may consider others, just throw it out there. Thanks.

Nope, I'm looking for some decent 17" rims to put these tires on as I may not sell them. I changed the title since I confused you, lol.

I just put 215/45s on my 17x8s. I can post a pic if you wanna see the stretch.

I don't know if the 50 series tires you have will make any visible difference in the appearance.

^Yeah I'm not sure either. There is definitely noticeable stretch though. I'm lowered 1.5" and am thinking my car would look dumb with stretched tires, which is why I was shying away from a 8" rim.

How low are you?

Pro Kits, eh? lol. Same here. This small stretch works on your car though...so maybe my car wouldn't look as bad as I keep thinking.

My guess would be if anything a higher profile would cause less stretch, since there would be more material there to distribute the stretch?

What kind of tires are those?
