The sticky up top says 235's, 245's & 255's will fit 8.5" wide wheels. Pretty narrow for the rear (Just like the stock size actually). I was looking into getting some similar wheels but in 18's. I am not sure how 17's would look.

Don't do it bro, you will hate them in the long run. You have to get at least 10" wide in the back for it to look good. I can't stand my 17x9.5s, they look way to narrow, I can't imagine 8.5s

8.5s are way to narrow
