    Yes. might be a bit of a stretch, but well within the general manufacturer's recommended wheel widths. I run 235/45's on my 9.5's.

    I got 205/40/16's on a 7.5" wide wheel. There is a TINY stretch, but it's just perfect.
    I have 215/60/16's on the rear (still 7.5") and they "balloon" a tiny bit.
    I'm sure 225's on a 8.5" will be perfectly fine.

    that was with the torsion dropped all the way. my truck is raised higher than that, obviously. no rubbing on the sidewall in the few times ive bottomed out on a ditch or what not. Works great.

    And these wheels dont have the perfect backspacing, so this tire on an ideal wheel, would be fine.

    Hey Joe, could you link that? I don't really see why it would matter.
