you would most likley need spaces to run anything that wide so it doesnt rub. also 50 walls are to tall for 225's. the "50" is a percentage of the width of the tire and if you put 225/50's on the car its going to be larger than the orignal circumfrence of the wheel and throw the speedometer off. if you were going to run 225/s you would need 40 or 45 walls. neither is going to have the exact same circumfrence as a 195/50/15's

well if you were running 225/50's every revolution of the wheel would be 74.9 inches where the 195/50's are going to be 71.2 inches every revolution. its only like a 5%/4 inch diffrence a revolution.
211.4 revolutions to get down the quarter mile with the 225/50's
222.4 revolutions to get down the quarter mile with the 195/50's
so i guess it doesnt realy matter if you run 50 walls in 225's or not

I am convinced that on full lock, 225/50R15 will rub the inner fender or frame.
I am running 215, and I've had to do quite some work to stop them from rubbing.
No spacers tho.
Also, why would you want to run that high a tire? 40 profile would give a considerable less amount of wall roll.
Except if you're using them for dragracing. Then all rules are out the window.
