Installing these 225's on 8" rims is not even questionable so I don't understand where you would get such an idea. Wider wheels/tires deliver virtually no performance benefit over 225's and in most cases are solely installed because owners like the way they look.

Ok. Cool.
OP asked about sizes, I gave my opinion based on using different tires on different wheels on my FR-S. I have read the manufactures suggested range.
OP a 225/45 is not going to flush out the wheel because it has a +48 offset. Spaceres will; with the stock wheels and tires. +15 to +25 front and +20 to +30 rear is what guys are running on stocks.
