I've had these size Blizzaks on the stock 15 x 7 rims for the past
three winters ... would not drive without them in winter conditions.
Ideally, you want to match the tread width with the width of the rim.
I would think that they are close enough to be very effective on
the 15 x 8 rims. BTW, the Blizzaks wear quickly in hot weather so
try to get them on when temps. become fairly consistent at around
the 40F range and off when temps. reach above 40F on a consistent
basis. Hope this helps.
