Default Thanks!
I pulled the trigger and ordered the wheels today from TWE. Thanks for all your advice over the last several months! Cheers.

Default 225 looks better on an 8" imho.
235 will fit fine also but will be more "square", whereas the 225 will appear a bit stretched, making the sidewall more svelte.

i like the square look better. with some tires, stretched doesn't offer enough rim protection
