Question Snow Tires

So i picked up a set of brand new ws70s for $200 and a set of 17 inch ASA AR1 rims. My question is can i run the 215/55/17 snow tire on the 17x8 ASA rims? I checked online and they suggest 6-7.5 for the 215/55/17 tire, but is that difference between 7.5 and 8 to much?

No, It will work fine on the 8 inch rims, just will stretch a little more than on a 7.5 inch rim, thats all. No big deal.

Good choice and price on the tires And should be fine, not that big of a stretch at all.
