What do you want for your car?
225/50s will fit on the stock offset, just barelt but they'll fit.
If you are planning on autocrossing, or just want the best handling you can get then 225 are the way to go (better lateral grip for racing/agressive driving)
If you don't care about extreme handling (you're just going to cruise with the car), and/or you are going to be drag racing then the 205s will be better (less rotational mass for straight line racing).
