It's a bit bit of grey area, the links you posted are for MOT but MOT does not cover every single rule and legislation. So just because it passed MOT does not mean it's road legal. Then there are rules for vehicle manufacturers when designing new models but there is not much certainty what you can and cannot modify or by how much.

I think that wheels and tyres can stick out of body by up to 30mm if there are no sharp or pointy bits on them. But I am not sure how it's measured as the body line is not vertical but slopes inwards at the bottom so obviously they are sticking out more at the bottom.
