I don't think an 8.5 inch wide wheel will fit on a Neon without the tires rubbing somewhere.

You will not fit a 14", 15" or stock Neon 16" wheel over SRT brakes.

Some 16's will fit with mod's or odd offsets or certain spoke styles.

Certain 15" wheels will fit, like the Kosei's. SRT drivers use those a lot for a set of slicks.

As long as the tire on that wheel is reasonably sized there shouldnt be a problem. A 215mm wide tire is 8.46" wide, and will fit without any issues on any Neon/SRT. The offset is the key with wider wheels. Something slightly less positive would be a good idea, especially with non-SRT style struts.

This wheel fitment guide is for SRT's. Keep in mind SRT's have more room than a Neon because of the higher spring perches on the struts and rear knuckles that locate the tension rod further inboard. If 8.5 inches is the absolute widest to fit on an SRT I think these would be a problem on a Neon unless you like the forklift tire look.

Found some pix here of 17x8 's with 205/50 tires on tamadrumr88's car. The car looks good but look how close the tires are to the tension rods and the fender. So with a .5 inch wider wheel and a wider tire... I don't know.
