that wheel sizing will be so ridiculous. go to a shop that specializes in wheel and tire sales, and talk to a sales person.

Lol, I've got a pretty funny mental picture trying to imagine how the 8 would look with that set up. :D

if anything...you would want to plus size by 1. so 19" in the rear and 18" would be a better idea. actually, the whole idea isn't that great at all. but it's your car and your money.

that size might be alittle small, I'd go with a 40 instead of a 35, the 35's will be stretched a bit giving it that rubber band look, not a good look and definitely not what you want for everyday driving since as soon as you tag a significant dip or pothole you can kiss your rims buh bye

edit: not enough height on a tire will leave your rim looking like this after time :D
