Default Is 225/50/16 too big for 16x7 rims???? pic request

I can get a good deal on some new tires for my rota subzeros, but they are 225/50/16 and I dont know if they are too big. My tires now are 205/45/17 (different rims of course), and they are fine. I just wanted a little more sidewall for a better ride, and maybe a little more width for traction---Does anyone have this size tire, its for an EK. What tire size do you guys with 16's recommend, any pics would help... Thanks
