Who is using 225 tires with 16" rims

People that are driving 225 tires on 16" rims:
Experiencing any problems with this setup??
I hear that 225s are to wide.

Right here dude. I'm running 225/16/50's on my stock 16X6.5" 5-spoke SE rims. They're Potenza RE730's and no, I haven't noticed anything wrong other than the fact that Maxine now corners like an alien ***** beast (that's, ummm... good)!

225/50R16s are OK on 6.5"-wide rims. But keep an eye on the load rating. The 215/55R16s have a load rating of 91. That's equivalent to a maximum load carrying capacity of 1,356 lbs per tire. You do NOT want to go below that when purchasing new tires.
