I've been running 225/45R15 on 7" and 8" wheels and they worked fine. But now that I need new tires I'm going to 8s all the way around and debating about stepping up to 245/40R15. Anyone have experience with 245 on 8" wheel? It's within spec from Hoosier for that tire and through email correspondence with Hoosier they said it would work fine. I also asked them about building heat in the tire since I struggle with that on the 225s already. They said that yeah I would build less heat but the cooler 245s would generate more grip than slightly warmer 225s.

My car had 245's on 7" wheels on the rear when I bought. it. They barely fit inside of rivet on glass box flares. They required some goofy shimming with spacers, including an additional 6 or 8 mm on one side only, and there were still rub marks. Since going to 225's on all 4, on the 7's all's well.
