If you're going 50mm static I'd get a little bit of stretch. Should be fine though. They'll definitely fill your archers and delete your arch gap.

All depends what look you're going for? Id personally go 8.5 but that's my opinion. Just to maximise clearance run some stretch.

What et are the wheels?
