What does this have to do with what we're talking about? The offsets on both the wheels in question ARE THE SAME.
Regardless of it you're using a 235, or a 245, or a 225 (all completely fine sizes on an 8.5" or an 8" wheel)...
If you consider 17x8.5 ET40 to be a poor fitment, then surely you can't consider 17x8 ET40 to be a "perfect" fitment.
That makes no sense. The extra 1/2" of wheel width doesn't cause a signficant issue, front or rear, for a given tire size.
I.E. if 235's on a 17x8 fit front and rear, than 235s on a 17x8.5 will fit front and rear. Thus, one can't be considered a poor fitment, while the other "perfect" as alleged by TheStig. That's just silly.
Why is this so hard to understand?
