Increasing that to a 225/50/16 you now have 1.2" of overhang on each side of the lip. Let's also not forget that the 225 is going to be 0.8" bigger in diameter than the 205. This will make your speedometer/odometer off by 3.3%. The 225 width tire is designed for rims 7.5-8.0" wide.

My stock wheels with 205's do not hang out .8"
225 wide tires are good on 7-8 inch wide wheels

Do you konw how rediculous 225's will look on a 6.5" wheel? not to mention its unsafe and youll have an unstable side wall.
What do you mean clear the struts? do mean will it hit any suspension parts or fender? that depends on your ride height and wheel specs. My 225/50/16's on 7" wide wheels with a +42 offset do not hit any suspension parts but rubs the fenders on hard turns (fender rolling will solve that issue)
