Winter setup, will it fit?

Thanks for the answer.

Damn, this is weird. He said he tried his best but it was impossible to air them up enough because of the sheer size of the gap (1cm or so?).

But if you check on the calculator from 1010tires, they do mention that a 225/50 tire is meant for a 8" wide rim max and not 8.5" . What I find strange is that people here have managed to put the same spec tire on a 8.5" wide rim. Maybe some tires have different stiffness of sidewalls and flex differently.

This sux cause I'm going to have to find new rims to fit on my car and it's very difficult to do here in Europe. We already can't find winter tires available in Europe, they're all sold out.

Edit: I'll listen to you and first try to go to another garage and ask them if they can fit the tire on the 8.5" wide rims. Thanks again !
