    I'd also like to say its good that you all have constructive comments, and didn't just say it was a stupid idea and e-bash me (like that of another all honda forum)
    A 235 will look ever so slightly stretched on a 8.5" rim although it will be less noticable in a performance tyre as these tend to have a larger section width. With -3 camber you can still expect decent tyre wear if you keep your toe at zero and don't do too many skids . Refer to this post for my experiences with tyre wear: LINK

          That is a good guide but of you follow the sizes listed in that you will invariably end up with weak offset . The sizes are fairly cautious.
