^ That wheel will fit just fine and looking at a 255/50/16" appears to be the largest approved fitment for an 8" wheel. There may be some exceptions out there for a wider tire, but need to look at the approved fitment of the exact tire you want to run.

ok thanks what about the front? i want skinnier tires then 225 will a size down fit on those rims?

I am sure a 225/50 will fit on the 8" wheels, but just look up the specs of the tires you plan to use. A 225 is a proper fit for a 7" wheel, but is typically as wide as can be installed on one. Therefore, I see no reason why that same tire would not fit on an 8" wheel.
