Difference between a 8" wheel and 10" wheel is preference.
You can run 35's on the stock suspension with flat fenders.

I bought 15" wheels with 4" backspacing and they rubbed on the front calipers so I ground the calipers 1/4". I'm told with the 3.75" backspacing available on some 15" wheels they will fit with no grinding.

Wow, 33x15.50? That will look a bit odd?

I would love the much wider tires but I live in NYC and my driveway is very narrow. Not sure if I can afford to add that much width. I fold my mirrors in to get down it lol what about with stock fenders? I'm guessing the 35s won't work? 33s maybe?
