To see if it even slightly looks stretched or is flat on the side wall.

On an 8.5" wide wheel, it looks slightly stretched...the tread sits fairly square with the wheel, but the tyre bulges out at the rim protector, which makes it look more stretched.
Very little protection from the tyre though, with a 225 on a 8.5" wide wheel...the 8.0" wide look less stretched and offer more protection.

Heres a 225 tyre on a 8.0" wide 18" wheel:
