a 205 will have a minor stretch on a 8" and with another 1/4 inch it's going to stretch even more. With my 215 on an 8" there's a very SLIGHT stretch but it looks nice in my opinion. A perfect size that would find on an 8" is a 225, but id have to roll your fenders and use huge spacers.

Hey guys it depends in the brand of tire you are using. Usually guys that want a nice decent stretch on an 8" rim will use federal or Falken tires because they run narrow. The size they usually use is a 205/40. Now with 8.5,9, or 10 they usually use a 215/40 to have a nice but not crazy stretch. Now if you want some crazy stretch like the diehard, hardcore hellaflush guys, they would run 195/40. I've even seen really crazy hardcore "it doesn't make sense to fit that size tire on that wide rim" , 165/35 and 185/35( but that's an imported tire because the US does not carry anything smaller then 195). The hardcore stretch guys will run 9"/10" width rims though with crazy camber. This is because they feel 8" is not wide enough.
