It sure sounds like the fitment problem you're having is due width, not height. A .4" difference in diameter ( .2" radius ) is a 1.5% change, well within the allowed 3%.
As I mentioned in your other thread, Instead of buying expensive new tires, try a small spacer, 5-7mm ( with longer bolts ). That will either eliminate your rub, or cause the outside to rub, In which case you'll have to go to either a 235/35-19 ( factory 987 size ) or 225.
The 8" wheel is within the recommended range for a 245 tire.
