I thought running 315 on a 10 inch wide rim was too much I can't imagine on a 8 inch wide rim.
I hear that Nitto runs small in 17s compared to the other brands

What he said!!

It very possible.. BUT its pointless because you will have that huge bulge and wont even get all the rubber to the ground.. kinda kills the point of fatter meats in my opinion.. Plus it will look retarded haha.. 265 or 275 is the widest I would go on a 8" rims..

Will they fit? Yes.

Is it a good idea? No way!

I would never go wider than a 255 on an 8" wheel. 315s are for roughly a 10.5" wheel.
