I'll be first in line for 'em and then I'll have (2) 9" wide rims available for sale. I think the 235/45 tire should be just right on the smaller rim size so I'm keeping the tires.

DevoBuzz, I forgot to ask about any additional sizes.
Interesting on the delivery date. I bet if you call them tomorrow they'll say they aren't even getting any 8" rims. They are a box of chocolates. I have waited so long I guess I can just wait a little more. Right now its 275/40/17 and 255/40/17. I think they are the perfect rim for my car. The price is definitely keeping me from getting something else. If you get setup on the 8's send me PM please. I might miss it if its posted here. I might buy your 9's we'll see.
