Dude, another thread? Get 235/40/18 and call it a day.
245's are too wide and will flop around on the narrow 8" wide wheels.

To actually answer your question, yes, 225s will fit on an 8" wide rim but that isn't the ideal size.

Who said anything about 245's. Either way I have 245's on a 7.5" rim and they are fine. But they are also 15's so that makes a difference.

225's are not the best fit for 8" rims. I would do at least 235, might as well take advantage of the rim width

Your combo is not fine, the tire looks like a balloon.
Ammi said something about 245's, and that's why i mentioned it.

235's are best on 8" wide. Perfect tire diameter and sidewall tightness.
