Default tire size question

I am in need of finally replacing my tires. I want to go with 215/50 on the front and 225/50 on the rear.

Just wanted to make sure noone had an interference problem with the 215 hitting anywhere.
Also, will the 225 stick out past the wheel well?

thanks

Cool Re: tire size question

Since you won't be able to do a full tire rotation with this scheme, be sure to not get uni-directional tires. I didn't even know my tire were that way, until they got here. You wouldn't be able to rotate left to right, or vice versa.

Also, if you have ABS brakes, different diameter tires can cause the abs system to act weird due to differing rotational speeds of the tires. There won't really be much visible difference in those two sizes of tires. I would stick with the same size all around and be able to rotate the tires.
