Lowering the car 3" on that backspace, with that wheel, is going to rub on the outer fender. You could 'try' a 225/45/18, but I"m not as big a fan of running that narrow of a tire on an 8" wide wheel. Are the wheels 2 piece? Maybe a rehoop. Also, have you confirmed they are 8" wide, or could you possibly be measuring the width incorrectly. Remember, wheel width is from the inside bead to inside bead, not edge to edge.
