I spoke to Tire Rack tech while ago regarding my 205 55 16 and replacing them with 225 and i was told if i go with 225 that i have to go with 50 instead of 55. But my issue was not rubbing but computer instead. so maybe give Tire rack a call and they will tell you if is ok to do that. I guess they would have mention it if there was rubbing issue. I have CLK320 if that makes any difference , new here not much knowledge
