225 on 8.5j wheel ?

Looking to run dws06 on 8.5 wide wheel. I hear it's stretched I hear it's not, tire rack says will fit on wheel 7.5 - 9.

Has anyone done this, have pictures on how it looks, or knows if it's safe? Will discount tire mount it?

I ran 225-40-14 Michelin a/s 3s on my M240 with 8.5" rims and found they looked a little stretched.

Replaced them with 235 and looked just right

Thanks, aside from looking stretched did you notice any weakness while driving? Or you swapped it to be on the safe side
