Default Too wide meaning what? Will they be stretched? Yes. Will they fit? Yes.
I had 215's on my 8.5" wide wheels and they were pretty stretched. 225's on an 8.5" look good IMHO but if you are trying to go as wide as possible I'd just stick with 235's.

Default Just go to tirerack, and click on the specs of a few different tires in that size. It will show you
the rim width range.
