7 inch run 215, 7.5 inch run 225 so 8.5 inch would be 245 or if you cant park 255, i would go for 245 and keep away from kerbs

I am running 245/40/18's on my 18x8.5 Rota Gravels. Its the best move I have made since I started buying wheels and tyres for my cars. The 245's give a good level of comfort when driving on ruff roads with potholes/even surfaces and fill the arches nicely too!

I'm running 18x8.5s and run 235/40s. Depending on offset 245 can end up rubbing

Should be ok M8. I'd maybe PM M444GY to be on the safe side, mine can rub on full lock if the road surface is poor, although I am running quite a low ride height
