You might want to see if you can get a hold of James Johnson on the main board. I think he has been running 225's on the 16" rim without rubbing. I've got 215's on a 17" wheel, and when loaded with passengers in the backseat and my stereo gear, I get a little bit of rubbing (onramps mostly). I had this same problem when I bought a set of 16" TSW Hockenheim R's with 205's back when I had my '95 SE. I think that if you get a hold of James, he will advise you that not all 225's are built alike, and some will rub. The other option is to have your fenders rolled, but I'd worry about the paint cracking and rust forming.
