Is this correct, the stock 8" wide tire can fit on an 8.5" wide rim??

According to Tirerack.com, the recommended wheel width for the factory 20" tires is:

245/45ZR20 = 7.5 - 9.0 inch
275/40ZR20 = 9.0 - 11.0 inch

Personally, I don't think I would stretch that 275/40 on a 11" wheel, but I've seen plenty of people put them on a 10" wheel just fine. You will be fine with the stock 245/45 on a 8.5 inch rim.

I have the 245s on 9" rim & 275's on 10.5" rim with no problems.

I have 245s on 8.5s and 275s on 10s. The Pirellis on the front were fine, but the rears looked stretched a little. I now have Invos all the way around and the rears fit much better. Probably something to do with the stiffer sidewall on the Pirellis as well as the tire design.
