They would be th mono's if they are from compomotive. I've got a set.

In fact as far as I was aware they dont have anymore sets in 5x100 et25 8x16 left, i got the last ones. That was in june though so they may have made more.

As far as a straetch goes depends what you want. I got 205/40/16 Avon ZZ3 and they dont really stretch much but their grip level is very good.

You could go for a 195/40/16 toyo or the like which are aparently very good in the wet and dry (T1R).

Have a search in the pictures gallery for pidges mk6 (a thread by del) thats got shots of my wheels so you can see what a 205/40 looks like on an 8.

I'm running dunlop sp9000 195/40/16 on 8's at the back. Top marks for road holding in the dry/wet, gives a decent stretch on the 8's but nothing "CrazY". Wish i had gone for more stretch now! Dam!

compomotive are making more yeh but its 21-28days for delivery. 522 pound.

going to get proxes 195/40/16's. thanks for the help
