You can fit 8" wide wheels with no problems. You'll just have to do the proper modifications to prevent it from rubbing. Many people have 8" wide wheels on their cars in this forum and done it successfully. Take Ben (cali320) for example.

I'd just throw on some decent tires and save them as a "back-up" set. You never know when you'll need a good set of tires not to mention a good set mounted on some nice wheels.
