Default I asked this about 3 weeks ago [more]

I ended up choosing the Wasp since I don't want to run anything wider than 225 tires, and 225 would barely wrap around the 8.5in Artic, giving it a very stretched look.

You can try running 235 on the Artics, but it will still look a bit stretched, and will rub more most likely.

Our cars are designed to handle not more than 225 rubber, and I think the disadvantage from trying to pull super-wide tires are greater than, if any, advantage from handling.

Either way, Edge is great, fast shipping, good service, and those wheels are of excellent value, you can't go wrong with either one.
