I bought some rims from them. 17x7. They came with everyting I needed 4 hub rings as well as spacers and longer bolts. Only problem that I has was with the hub rings. They were of the plastic variety and caused a vibration from 45-70. Talked to them about this and they sent some metal rings that fit the rim much better however is till had a vibe in the rear of the car due to the non hubcentric spacers. So what I did is bought a set of hubcentric spacer from metalaction.com that adapted the hub/wheel prefectly and eliminated the vibe. With that said threebrothers communicated well, sent me the new hubrings quickly and am very pleased with my purchase from them. Seem very customer oriented and their feedback shows.
Dont know about the 8" though. I used a 1/4 inch thick spacer to get clearance in the rear from the ebrake bracket. 8" with a high offset would even be tighter.
