I understand there will be less contact patch even though I'm running 245's all around since there is a .5" difference in wheel width.

It's hard for me to explain the look I'm going for so I'm just going to try it.
The difference is only +3mm, and combined with a more stretched tire on your 8.5" rim is going to net you a wheel that appears as tucked as stock. You will need at least a 10mm spacer to notice any difference at all

I should just sell my 20mm spacer and buy a 10-15mm for the fronts
