245/40/18 on 8" wide rim?

Will a 245/40/18 fit on a 9" wide rim? I don't want to run "streched" tires I know this must have been covered but my search turend up everything concerning tires and nothing specific to this question.

245s works well with 8.5 widths. It will be OK on 8 widths and a little bit stretched on 9s.

It's a 9" rim I mistyped the title. Thanks for the replies. I bought 4 tires all 245/40/18 because they were in stock and didn't want to wait for the delivery. Looks like I may be waiting after all
