YOu can get 195-45-14s in a few different brands. Think the lowest profile a 185 goes is a 55. The 195-45 would have a nice little bit of stretch on it on an 8 though.
I had Kuhmos, they were about $130ish each from memory. But im positive other brands do them too

yeah mate if you find someone who would give a deal for 2 sets that would be mint. have you seen the falken ones on hyper.co.nz ? they look pretty sweet. i'll see if they'll hook up a deal if we wanted 2 sets off them?
