- 225/45 AD08R on 17x7.5 should be faster
- 215/45 AD08R on 17x8 would feel better

Depending on experience, you might think the car is sliding from the "floating" feel you would get from a tire that is wide on the wheel (the 225s here) and not push it as hard out of fear, in which case 215 would yield better times. If learning and/or having fun is primary objective instead of lap times for bragging rights, then choose 215.
