What size tires should I run on my XXR 522's that are 8.5" wide?

I'm running 225's on a 18x8, so if I were you I'd go with a 235 or 245

None. Based on the poor quality of their products you shouldn't run XXRs at all.

potentially yes. It depends on the offset and size of the wheel(17s or 18s). I know XXR makes some really low ones. Fitting that with a 245 may be hard too. it all depends.
