Regarding the tires, 225 would not safely fit on a 6.5 inch wide rim. (That's the EX 16" rim size.)
Yes, 225's will bulge a bit on the 6.5 inch wide 16" rims. I've read some authors who are strongly opposed to mounting 225's on 6.5" wide rims for that reason. However, I put some Goodyear Eagle F1 Gs-D3's on my old RSX-S with the stock 16 x 6.5" rims. They worked fine and I never had any problems. Per the TireRack.com website, 6.5 was the minimum rim width for the 225 tire size, so I just went with it and not once did I regret my decision.

This would be a truly stealth mod.

Good luck.
