255/50/17 pictures ?

Anybody got pictures of Kumho Ecsta ASX 255/50R17 on a factory 17x8 rim ?
I`m thinking they are a little wide for an 8 inch rim.

Found better pics:




Looks like the autocross picture is the best one I have from an angle where you can see how wide it is. But as far as seeing how much it sits off the sides of the rim, these pics should do a good job. I've had these tires 2 years and never had a problem with it being too wide. In fact, I like that they protect the rims from rubbing the rims on a curb by accident

My only real complaints on them are that they have a very sudden loss of grip and the treadwear was a little fast (about the same as the pirelli's though). At first, you're amazed with what the tires can do, and then you push it a little too far and the back end starts sliding way out...and fast. I learned to control it after a while but at first it was very scary.
