I think putting a 165 on an 8 inch wide wheel is stupid and dangerous.

Stretched way over the limit!

Agreed. I think you'll probably struggle to get them on TBH.

yes i know what its like to fit a 165 tyre to a really wide rim,

i once supplied just the rims only for a lad who was to have his own centres made up,[thats another story]lol.

he wantd my 3" inner ans 4" outer, my early &" rim combo acctually came off the spinning machines and maeasured 7 1/4" wide the pair,
as most will know mine and other 10" wheels mount the rims on the back face of the centre ,
this lad had his centres machined to have the outer rim sitting on the outer face , ,this made the overall width 7 3/4" wide, but as he was runnig in road modified had to use the yoko 008 165 tyre, so thats what he did, i dont know if he put tubes in or not but he certainly used the car for a few events up here in the Yorkshire area,
he was a cabable and hard charginging driver so the tyre /wheel got no sympathy, , he had no problems at all,

although on the face of it , it does sound a bit dodgy but appears from what ive seen not to much of a problem,

untill you encounter plod who has other ideas,

interesting, ive seen plenty of quite stretched low profile tyres on vws ect and ive seen a008s on 7-7.5 rims *Confused* ... does half an inch make a big difference? *hehe!*

thats usefull info carl, i think il make two 8" wide and see what thayre like, if they dont work then i can always chop an inch out
