Default 245 Width on 8" Wheel
I am just curious if a 245 wide tire on a 8" wide wheel is too much tire? The 235's look like the sidewall flexes in slightly so i think it will work, but figured id ask before trying it.

Typically, people have been running 245 tires on the OEM 7.5" rim. "245" in a non-OEM tire is the recommended size anyway for a 16" rim. An 8" rim is just fine.

xviper is correct. The 8" width is no problem with a 245 tire.
