I have had 225/45-17 Bridgestone RE-960AS Pole Position all seasons on my 2001 Viggen Coupe for over a year and one half on stock Viggen rims. Decent room between tire and springs as well as wheel arches even at full lock. Never a rub or touch even on bumps. Both a timed mile and the GPS show no change between speedometer and actual speed. The BIG plus is the slightly larger diameter has eliminated 90% of my driveway scrapes AND the torque steer dropped dramatically.
That said, the 225 was a standard size on the 9-5 and jumping from 205 to 225 with 16's may give rubbing. Good luck.
