Does anyone here have a rim on their millenia with a width of 8 inches? If so, I need to know whether there is any problem with rubbing during strut compression or turning.

I doubt it, people put 19x8.5/9's on, plus my tires are 7.5 so you should be fine

20Z you are getting real close to being an ass. Oh **** forget close. Now seeing as my original rim for my car was fitted with a rim that had a width of 6.5 inches, and since I don't feel like riding in a car that rubs everytime it bumps or turns I figured I'd ask someone who might know for sure. My car is lowered so really don't need a car that is rubbing. So once again someone tell me it's all clear to do this with no modifications.
