I should of rolled the fender a little, but I didn't. Believe me when I say I was pushing it. It all about measuring. You have to realize that an 8 inch rim is actually 9 inches wide. The width is measured from the inside of the rim, wall to wall. My freind had some ADR wheels that were 9 inches wide in the rear and he had absolutely not problems. I was going through tires like crazy do to camber getting worse with the wider wheel. I had 245 in the rear, but the were stretching. Looked crazy but not cost effective... Oh, the things you do for beauty. I loved it. Ask any of the So Cal guys, they'll tell you.
