The 16" Aero wheels (I belive they are the Super Aero wheels) are 6.5" wide, and can, in theory, handle up to 225. BTW, the 225/50 16s are the same overall diameter as the 205/55 16s.
I would not recommend going to the 225s since that requires a minimum of 6.5" wheel, so it's too close to the limit.
215/50s are too small in diameter, and that results in a mis-callibrated speedometer.

Bogdan
