I saw that he's from Italy. Hence asking if something got lost in translation. My Italian is far worse than his English. But those particular restrictions seem to fail the logic test.

225/45's are okay on the car

8" wheels are okay on the car

Why would only the pinched/stretched extremes be acceptable? The only thing I can sort of think is if the combo puts the rubber outside the fender. But you'd have that problem with anything on the same 8" wheel. What local law/regulation does the 8"/225 setup actually violate?

But to answer the real question. It's an HPDE. The question getting asked means it's not likely to matter significantly. Bolt on whatever and go have fun.
