alspos gets it, more rubber for cornering traction and the security of being unable to scrape your rims on side walk etc when parking (shit happens sometimes).
I'm a big fan of 225's on stock starion 14" rims.

225s are definately too big on 6 inch rims, i have 215's and they are too wide for them. More rubber doesn't always equal more cornering traction, as going too wide will mean more sidewall flex.

Ill be putting the factory size (245/45/16) tyres on them when I get the rest of the set and will be putting them on my Widebody. I just put the 225 on to see how they looked on a narrowbody.

Can't say Im a big fan of over sizes tyres on rims, I like them either with a nice straight side wall or streched. Nothing worse than side wall flex when corning.

And as for curb scraping... Im not a chick so its really not a problem :D :D :D
