I think the only problem you'll have will be excessive rubbing... Do you have height adjustable suspensions? Depending on offset too, think about having to consider flattening them guards.

Oh, and, damn! How stiff is it with 35 profs?

^215 is the tyre width that he's planning to fit on his 8 or 8.5" wide rims.
He can go 205 and stretched it to 8.5" rims to make it slimmer/avoid any rubbing but not sure how safe it is to do so.

@tippin, offset is important to determine whether they fit on fto or not.

Seeing those kinds of setups gives me a woody...

If i had 10" wheels with killer offset, i too would run 205s..
