Default Will 225 tires fit on Swing wheels?

I had 225 tires on my previous A4 with the Audi 5 spoke 16" wheels, but I'm not sure if they will also work on the Swing wheels which I have now. OEM size for both types of wheels is 205-55-16.

That's what I was asking, so according to TEB there's no problem with it. I know it wasn't an issue on the old five spoke wheels that were on my previous A4. There's a pic of those wheels on the wrecked vehicle in my pic album. I went through a couple different sets of tires on that car and they were all 225 tread width.

I'm pretty sure 225 is the max. Maybe someone else can say for sure, but I wouldn't want to try any wider.
