Fitting wider tires on stock wheels

I am going to be changing my 16" tires to Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 For my summer, spring an fall tires. Any one have experience with these tires, I want tires with superb summer grip as I have another set for the the winter. Also
Could i fit 225/50/16 on these? Stock size is 205 but I want a wider tire.
Thanks in advance.
PS: I also want to keep the ride comfortable lol.

try picking up some stock 18s with tires and tpms, they're usually very cheap and can easily rival how much you pay for just new tires

Yes, 225/50R16 fits well with no problem and would be a nice upgrade.

Yes it’s called a +0 fitment and it’s what I had on my accord. If you go on toyo.com it will let you know what size you can fit while still maintaining the proper tire height.
