Im looking to run a 225-50-16, with just a prokit drop and a 51 offset wheel.
you guys think it will rub with hard cornering?

There is one possible interference point that you should be aware of. I speak of the verticle link between the hub housing and the upper control arm in the rear suspension (note supplied illustration) (#23)

with a 15x6 alloy 5 spoke SE rim and 215/60x15 Toyo's, I've 1/2" clearence between the tire side wall and the link. I have no interference problems, but fear anything grosely wider could get you into trouble.
You might want to refer to some of the on-line tire/rim vendors (Tire Rack etc) that provide plus sizing programs which may be able to guide your choice, and answer your questions.
Try some of these:
