I'd be willing to bet you're okay with the 225s on those wheels.
I know. It is going to be close. basically, 21mm closer to the fender than stock tires plus any added squarer shoulder width of the performance tires. Could be a full inch.

Would just rather be safe/sure than sorry. Or at least out $130 for a tire I can't return.
