Who's gone to 225/50/R16 from stock size?

Hi All,
I've seen a few posts in the past that a few of you have gone to 225/50/R16 from the stock 215/55/R16. I'm thinking about going this route because the tire I want to get is not offered in the stock size, the Perelli P-Zero Nero M+S. Tires.com is offering a $50 rebate and free shipping. Hard to beat that.
Any issues I should be aware of? I'd imagine the ride to be just slightly stiffer becuase of the shorter sidewall. Also the circumfrance is slightly shorter so the speedo will have to be reclibrated. Anything else I should look out for?
Thanks for your help.
Ivan
