Depends on what aspect ratio of tyres being used.
If 215/45R17 then 8 " is max, as recommended is 7 to 8.
If 215/50 or 215/55R17 then 7.5 should be max, as recommended is 6 to 7.5

Rim Offset plays big part too to get the correct tire width

How about 225/45/R17 for my rim 8jj ?
Cox the halfcut rim tire is 245/45/R17 ...but the tire cant use
Some more makan minyak too if use 245.

225/45 is perfect for 8' width.

A bit too small, better 215.

A bit too small, better 215.

Maybe oversize for his ride, that is why he uses 205.....

As bro. 6UE5t mentioned 225/45 is perfect for 8" rims, as recommended is from 7 to 8.5".
Even 245/45 can fit 8" (recommended 7.5 to 9")
Would like to ask, what is your original tyre size on your ride, as you cannot just fit any size you like.
For example 245/45 is almost 3% bigger in overall diameter over 225/45, so please check your original size tyre and convert from there....

18" x 8.5J, you can fit from 225 right up to 255. It also depends on the aspect ratio (series) used.
As mentioned, please convert upgrade size according to your original tyre size.

225/45/R17 would be best for you.

Yup, as bro. 6UE5t mentioned 225/45R17 almost same overall diameter as your current tyre size.
If you want rears to be wider then 245/40R17.
Offset 25 seems a bit further out, maybe that is what you want...
