anything wider than 225/45 is gonna track like crazy but any of the tires you mentioned will work.

Tracking is when your car follows the "groove's" (think slight ruts from heavy traffic) in the road causeing your car to wander in the lane on roads that are more heavily traveled. This isn't really a problem on the highway but on city streets your car can feel slightly uncontrolable. Almost a similar sensation to Hydroplaning only you can keep control over your car.

I don't see a huge problem running the 235's other than the fact that they are alot more expensive than the 225's. So decide wisely I don't think the 235's are enough wider than the 225's to justify the difference in price. But that's just my $0.02.

So will the 42mm offset be okay with the 8in wide rim? I have been searching all over for a hard core yes/no answer, but no luck yet. If it helps I am lowered with Eibach Pros.

yes that offset will work i have the same. It is close but will fit. i am on sportline springs but that shouldn't matter. i used 225 tires cause ther is big differance in $$$ butif you find 235's cheap go for it.
