are 225/60/16 snowtires too big??

[red89SHO24v]

all right, i think i may have just goofed ordering my snow tires - i ordered the Blizzak WS-50's in 225/60/16 to put on my slicers for the winter - are these gunna rub? im not too concerned about the width, as i run my 235/45/17's on 7.5" rims with no problems. but is the OD of the tire going to be too large for my car? any input would be greatly appreciated! thanks

You already know of my problems withthat size, I had Toyos that rubbed the coil plates when they accidentally put on that size. Just wanted to mention it here for others.

BTW is that a new pic?
