Surprised you got 8s on the rear of a narrow body, unless the fenders were pulled a bit.
You are seeing Harlds car in green. They will fit like any 7in Fuchs to the outside. Roll the fender a little.
The extra 1 inch goes to the inside.

Plus if you look it up there are a few guys here that have 8 951 on the back
The extra inch on the 951 8" Compared to the 7' is split with 1/2" to the inside and 1/2" to the outside.
You can see that on the chart Mepstein posted above.
So for 7s you need to roll the fenders, for 8s you need at least another 1/2" it also depends on the tire.
There can also be the problem of rubbing on the inside rear fenderwells, with 225-50/16's on 8" I needed to add 2mm spacers to push the rears out to clear slight rubbing. As is you can NOT fit a finger between the tire and fender inside lip.
But all cars are different so YRMV.
