Nothing wrong with 245s on an 8" rim. If the car handles like it's on marshmallows, it's not because of the wheel/tire combo. There's more slop in your control arm/strut/steering rack/subframe...

So that's effectively a 16-6.5 +30ET. Very nice fitment, and a perfect size for the 205/55. If you eventually move up to a 225/50, a 7" rim is all you need.
