16x8??? odd size, but 215x35 should give a slight stretch on those. 8 inch is normally for a 225 size tire so anything less will start to stretch, and the lower the sidewall, the more apparent the stretch becomes.

just remember, a little bit of stretch (i.e. 10mm less) can help stiffen the sidewall of a cheap tire to give it less squirm, but too much and you are just going for aesthetics.

but the best thing to do is call a tire shop and mention your wheel size and they will be more helpful
