u can run wide as you want. but that doesnt mean it would look good.
try 215 front 225 rear with 40 or so sidewall

yeah i'm running gramlight 57c's 17x7.5 and 8.5 and running a 225/40/17 all around and it's fine, i mean you could run wider but as stated before it'll bubble out and look bad. but you seem to be wanting function over form, so i'd say a 225 is a pretty much square tire for it.

at least 225 for the 8s
but you should get wider FNs

I want function more than looks.. more grip is always good cause some times i don't like to slow down for turns.
