never seen these in the flesh.
will 8" rims ruin my handling? I would use 225/45/15 tyre r888.
Most time attack cars just fit the biggest rims they can.

yes -- unless all the extra width is inboard-all FWD cars must have all rim inboard of hub -nut
eg draw a linw down through the strut and extand onto road --ideally that line should be at outside of rim --or close
thats why you go wide track and move strut outwards to give more space for rim to come inwards--well one of the reasons
If i was continuing my development of my rcar ihad planned on 9 " rims to get power onto ground .
