I have no trouble with 245 40's on stock rims but don't think you can go wider. I would think that 8.5 rims would give you a good choice for tire widths. Just be sure the offset is enough.

yeah its just fine to go with a 8.0 width. If you want to go wide then I would mount those 225's on an 8.5 or a 9.0 rim for the stretched look, itll make ur rims look larger
