They'll fit depending on the offset. Arches will need a clobber with a hammer or similar.

Ask Andy_R, he has some tough as fuck 8x17" MOs with 235/40's on his S2.

Andys are ET38 IIRC, and yeah. Have a look in his garage!! Looks awesome, and it'll grip like fook

205's would be a bit of a stretch on an 8j rim, but 215's would look cool!

Get the arches rolled and flared slightly, and it'll look MEGA

Pics when your finished for sure!!
