#349927 225 will fit perfect on an 8" wide wheel but that setup fitting on your car depends on a few factors:

Offset of wheels
Sidewall of tire
Ride Height
Fender modifications
Camber

Is this going to be on the front only or front and rear? Is your car going to see track use only or is it also your daily?

#349970 It's hard to guess a size for you without seeing the car in person. What I would do is put the wheels on now with the 205 tires and measure the free space you have. 225 tire is 20mm wider than a 205, so you will have 10mm on each side. Not all tires will be the exact width that the size says. Some tires (especially performance tires) are slightly wider to take advantage of a wider foot print while keeping the car within a specific /group for racing. I know Azenis are wider than average. I'm sure drag radials are as well. You'll need to get the exact specs of the tire from the manufacturer, or legit sites that sell tires, like tirerack, usually list the exact dimensions of a tire.
