I believe that is to wide for a 8 inch wheel. It will fit but the sidewall deflection (movement) will be large. My car was supplied new with

That's what I was thinking.
A 245 35 would look a bit off that's why I was considering a 255

The min tyre for an 8" rim is 215.
The ideal tyre is 225 or 235
The max tyre is 245

This is industry standard recommendation across all tyre companies.
