So i found some 14 inch wheels that are 14x8, what size tires will i need to fit that? I dont want to ride around like a vw with stretched tires that are 2 inched thinner than my wheels, if anyone could help i'd appreciate it, thanks

I applaud you for not jumping on the tire stretching bandwagon.

8 inch wide I'd expect you'll need a 215 or 225 width tire, possibly more. Depends on the height ratio's available for the particular tire you want.

heres a 205/40 on an 8" wide



just remember, some brands have stiffer sidewalls than others so it wont look so stretched. if i remember correctly, general street/performance tires have a fairly soft sidewall.

right now, i have different tires up front than the back. the stretch isnt as noticeable due to the stiffer sidewall. as a result, i now rub a bit while at full lock.
