You have to look at the specific tires to see what size rims they will fit on. Keep in mind that when you put a wide tire on a narrower rim, you get a narrower contact patch, so you don't get the full benefit. Most 225/50/16 tires will fit on as narrow as 6" (the Aero rims are 6.5"). I don't think you could go bigger than that. I doubt you'd see much difference in performance versus what you have.
