225's will be stretched 245 or 255 will be the tyre that fits correctly.

Goodyear is a great all rounder, Bridgestone Potenza are another good grip tyre. Failing that get what you think will grip the best.

I have the XXR 530s in that size and I use 245/40/18s, might go up to 255 next depending on cost.

I had to roll my arches and fit camber bolts to get the 225 tyres to fit my 8.75" XXrs let alone the 245 or 255's being mentioned!

I've got a Forester so wheel clearance isn't really an issue
I've lowered it 40mm and is fine with 225 winters, but I will have to at least roll the rear arches when the 245 summers go back on.
