I run the 225/50 on Super Aeros on my 919k, and they look really good. Not sure if the offset is the same for Super vs your stock Aeros. I will get some front rub during parking manuvers. And it will definately rub if I have a car full of heavy adults, but I never do, so to me it doesn't matter. And it hasn't ever rubbed enough that I made any efffort to trim where the tires hit. I also have read what Adam is saying, and it makes sense about sidewall flex etc., but unless your going to the track you will never know it. And if you shocks/suspension are worn (my car has Koni's, heavy ARB's, and all poly susp bushes) you may get more rub.
The last set of tires before these were the BFG KDW in 215/50, and they didn't rub at all.
And a fat tire is going to tramline more for sure.
