Arrow 225/50/16 on P5?

Ok.. I know that the first thing any one will say is this has been beaten to death on the board already and to do a search... well I did one and I still have a question....
I was at the ProSoloII even at Texas Motor Speedway last weekend and saw a lot of guys running 225/50/16's on WRX's and I know that they have a different tire width (6.5 vs our 6.0?) Well I think this over tired wheel looks cool and functional and I want to know this... If I were to buy a set of Azenis or Kumho MX tires what would be the largest size I could get on the stock 16x6 rims? My P5 willl remain unlowered for a couple of years so rubbing on the outside probably won't be a problem.
Thanks for your help

Red face well ok... that is too large... but...

Ok how about this... What is the largest Sticky Stock class type rubber we can place on these 16*6's?
I know that 225 will rub like hell, but what about 215-50's on stockers?

Thumbs up

Now that is greatness! Thanks for the help...
Any Street/Autocross tires? Is it true hoosiers don't work well without more camber?

Kumho Ecsta V700/V70A
Toyo RA-1

Hoosier's marketing info says the the sidewall is rounded to purposely handle cars without much negative camber .. but I'm not actually sure how well they hold up in practice.
