I wondering if this tire will fit on an 8 inch wide rim. Would 205/50/15 help a lot? Thanks. I'm looking to put this on a DD.

your title is 195 and your question is 205?

Well I've got some 195 's, so if they will fit then I'll just put them on. If they don't fit, then I'll go 205's. Thanks guys

going 205 will make the tire overall bigger wider and slight taller vs a 195.
