Decided on rims, now the tires and how it would look

Hey guys, I have decided to get a set of white Konig Rated R, 16x7. If I remmeber right, they have a 40mm offset like hte stock T2 wheels, I really want to run 225/50/16. The tire of my choice is Kuhmo 712. Will I have problem clearing them in the front? I have KYB AGX shocks with Eibach lowering springs. Also with the same offset rim, i dont have to worry about rim sticking out looking ugly right? Thanks

KYB AGX, I got it from local advanced auto parts. They are like 40 bucks more than what i would pay online, but hey if i need warranty work. I can bring them in and they replace it for me. No questions asked. I got my springs from Options for 200 dollars. Total about 600. it made world of a differenc ein handling, but the car is definitely stiffer. If I were to do it again, I would do it without doing the springs. I dont really like the idea of progressive springs, plus i am out of CS in autox
