See my earlier post...

"In theory, yes. However, people still do so. However, changing a set of wheels for a different set of wheels is less likely to cause issues with the police than fitting tyres which are too small for the wheels. But as is widely known, changing wheels from standard fit is also insurance notifiable, which brings you back to the point Jay made (sort of), where the change is entirely acceptable to the insurers but is in contravention of the regulations."

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.

I think we need to know what he is actually getting prosecuted for, without it we can sail off into the wind of tyres, wheels, manufacturers specs etc.

OP - Any idea what he is charged with?

"He wasn't interested and did me on section 40a "incorrectly sized tyres" and even wrote "Euro look" on my ticket. "
