If you have a low enough positive offset you can fit the 225's no problem.

It will stick out of the fender though and actually your best bet in 16" 225's would be a 45 series (-6.1mm difference from stock) and 50 series (+16.4mm from stock). There are a lot of tires available for 45's and 50's.

Do you get rubbing? Are they sticking out or waht?
