Default quick question...

would 205s fit on an 8in wide alloy??

just for a temp fix to get the car home

my mechanic needs it out the garage soon as and ive been delayed with my delivery of new tyres

and have 4 205/40/17 tyres in my garage

and ive sold my diamond cut rims so its stuck on axle stands

and i cant just borrow a set of rims,due to having my new brakes fitted just now,not all will fit

dont corner hard or the rim will touch the road seriously!!! ive done it before with 205's on escort cossie rims

i would advise against doing it mate, get 215 at the minimum

8" = 203.2mm > doesnt leave much room does it
