I had 235's on my fronts. They were a PITA to have them put on. I cant imagine 225's

on another car, I had 225/45's on an 8.5" wheel and they fit well.

I'd bet you could get them on a 9... especially if you have no intention of actually driving it like that for a long time

I have 245s on the front of my 17x9 Cobra wheels and they're stretched pretty good. Can't even imagine 225s.
