Tire ? 215/35-18 tire on 18x8 rim

I got a set of tires in my garage 215/35r-18 and was wondering if they would fit a 18x8 rim I know that would prob stretch or would fit.

Like to thin or will it be really stretched cause I don't mind if its stretched I dont mind that euro look lol. I'm dropped on s-techs so 225/40 I will need to roll the fenders.

215 would be a very dangerous streach on an 8" rim.225 would be workable.

I guess I'll just save up and buy some new tires and sell these. I don't want to crash or damage a rim. They're on a 18x7.5 rim now so I figured 18x8 wouldn't be that big of a dif.

225's at least. If the offset is high enough you can run 235 or 245.

35 is too low for an 18" rm unless you are running a really low offset and ur car is slammed... neither of which you are, so i would suggest a 225/40 or a 235/40
