I have 225/50ZR16 and although they fit in the wheel well, and fill it out nicely, I have totally compromised the handling of my Aero. The side walls are taller and the rim is not wide enough so there is a "crowning" effect which causes the side walls to bellow out. They actually feel dangerously sloppy on the highway during quick maneouvers. I have to run the tire pressure high to somewhat compensate for the sloppy handling.
Don't do it.
