215/580R15 Hoozier slick is 7-9 inch.

225/580R15 Avon slick is 8-9 inch

A 9 inch rim fits perfectly with the size I intend to run...

I admit I jumped to conclusion there as 225 is wide for a 'normal' tire on 9" wheels but just inside the recommended values for a slick.

8 inch is just about 203mm so "technically and aesthetically" its not stretch when you slap on 205mm tires.

Yup, the tyre actually bulges over the sides of the rim. Pretty much the inverse of stretch

As said I know as I run the same - it's still outside tire-manufacturer advise.
