If you would have wanted a 245 you should have gone with 9 inch at least...
This is actually 225/40 on a 8.5 - totally even.

Just saying man, even in the pic you posted you can see it's stretched. The sidewall is not sitting square and the rim protector is poking out because it's under tension, rather than laying flat against the rim.
If you lay a piece of wood across the wheel and the sidewal moves away from it as it goes to the tread, it's not square. Just lay the stock wheel flat on the ground and you can hear/feel the wheel hit before the tire.
I've gotten enough road rash/curbs/rock chips/etc. from running stretched wheels in the past. So yea, I have tried it. Just not my cup of tea.
