You should find a new tyre guy lol 225/40 on 8.75 is not much of a stretch at all, I have that same tyre on 9.75s and have so for over 2 years. I've even seen them on 11s. As far as safety goes, I personally have never had an issue nor do I know anyone who has, maybe there has been the odd incident involving tyre stretch but on the whole 225/40 on 8.75 is pretty safe. Some tyre shops refuse simply because they can't do it, I once watched a couple of guys wrestle with one of mine for 40 minutes before giving up lol
