Are 17 x 8's too skinny?
I found a great looking wheel, but it only looks like it comes in 17x8.
If I oculd fit a 275/40 on it, would it still look skinny?
Anyone run that size?
I really like the wheel, but I don't want the skinny look.

True, the largest tire would be a 245/45. But the offset is wrong (zero offset). That's why it has a deep dish. You would need a 45-55 offset for the wheel to look right.
Zero offset will stick out about 2".
