Tyre size
Iv brought some new wheels for the tin top but one of the tyres is below the legal limit. I car get some cheap used tyres of the bay but they are
slightly narrower. Will 235 fit an 8J rim?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

If its a branded tyre, most manufactures list the range of rim widths that they are suitable for on there websites

Slight hijack but how do tyre/wheel widths work? 8j, 10j etc. What is the 'j' for?

its the first letter of a german word that's something to do with rims...........
well, i think it is, pretty sure its something to do with the actual bead seat area shape on the wheel, but don't quote me on that!

'J' is the profile of the bead retaing lip of the wheel
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
