I have an extra set of 16" 7gc rims that came with my car with no rubber. I did some calculations and 225/45r16 is very close in diameter to 205/55r15 as to not mess with my speedo readings. Is it possible for these tires to fit without hitting suspension/fenders/wheelwell? Anyone know how wide I can go? Anything helps. Thanks!

On corners rated 25mph I've been able to go close to 60mph without losing traction with 205's (stock GT tire specs). Of course, I have Eibach lowering springs and ST sway bars. Been wanting to go with 225-235 spec tires with wheels but a lightweight set of wheels are hard to come by with our wheel pattern.
