Default 16" RIM upsize tire to 225/50/16 from 205/55/16

What the deal, everybody has a different opinion on if this is O.K to do on the stock 16" rim.

How many peps are running this size on there stocks wheels? Any problems?

What do you suggest?

Default I've seen it on an A4 1.8T.. no probs

However, I'd recommend doing a REAL upsize to 17" and 225/45/17 to get more performance benefit. (shorter sidewall for better turn in response and stability at higher speeds)
