Max tire width on a '08 2.5i with 16"? And will 16x6.5 WRX wheels fit '08 2.5i?

[Vert1go1]

I have a set of 16"x6.5" wheels off an '05 WRX. My father has a set of 225/55/16 snow tires he wants to give to my brother who has an '08 Legacy 2.5i. I am 99% sure the wheels will clear his brakes, but my concern is the 225mm wide tires. If I mount them up, will they cause any problems on the fenders? I can save my brother a bunch of money on wheels, and my father can save him a bunch of money on snow tires if the package will fit ok.

 

I do realize his speedo will be off. 6% off to be exact, but that's not a big deal.

 

Thanks in advance.

The should fit. 225's will fit fine as well. Its a bit wide of a tire for a 6.5" wide rim though but it should be fine.
