H&R sports spring drop with 225/55/16 tires

I'm planning to get new tires to replace stock 205/60/16. I dropped the car with H&R sports. I am thinking about 225/55/16 since I know it's the perfect size. But I am reading that some ppl are having rub with H&R sports springs. Is that true? If it rubs then I might get same size replacement

But I want a wider track on stock 16" rims. Any help?

I believe Joey has that same setup and he ain't complaining about any rubbing. You may want to check with him but I don't think you'll have any problems with that combination, that is as long as you're on stock wheels.

I really doubt you will rub with stock wheels cause they're like +55 offset, even with a 225 tire; which is 20mm wider than stock, you should be alright. Some people here are lowered with +45mm offset and 225 tires and they don't rub or had to cut the tab.
