2000 maxima...i want to swap my stock 17s with 225/50/17 to stock 16s because tires are cheaper and rims are lighter. but i want wide tires so... which should i get and is it ok to use 225 instead of the usual 215?

225/60/16 or 225/55/16 or 215/60/16

According to the Miata.net tire calculator, 225/55/16 is the best fit.
