Bloody understeer.

I recently fitted 265 Star Specs at the rear and have my old 225 RE760 Sport up front, and it feels like I'm driving a FWD car. Was plowing all through the great ocean road on Sunday in the wet.

What's the widest tyre you can fit onto an 8" rim? I'm toying with the idea of 245 up front (+55 offset), think I'd need a fender flare too given I'm 1" lowered?

PS, OP sorry about the hijack!
