I suppose I can use 215/45-17 tires with 8"-wheel but does anyone have pictures how tires will fit those wheels? I can't find 225/40 tires and 235/40 is too wide for me. And I have already 8" wheels so I don't want to buy new ones...

Maybe, but 225/45 decreases acceleration Um no? Technically it increases the rate of deceleration which will require slightly more output from the engine for the same effect but it also increases traction which is a good thing. You'd be hard pressed to prove the slight decrease in MPG also. --------------------  ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM) Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
