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

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.

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....:driver:

how about rim size 18" x 8.5jj, what is the most suitable tyre?
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.

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...:driver:

But you're fitments reflect exactly hellaflush! :P
The front at least has to use 225 and the rear actually needs at least 255 already!
