The main problem is the tire is a bit too wide to easily fit. It's a squeeze! I suppose if a manufacturer website says rim width from 6"-8" is OK then it's OK but it's a hassle and the tire's tread surface begins what is called the crown effect and looks like a balloon!The exact S14 SE size was 205/55-16 which has the same overall diameter as 225/50-16 and both come in competition models.I too have the SE wheels and am pleased with the fit of 205 as opposed to having to stuff the 225 onto the narrow 6.5" wheel.As for fitment, rear is a non-issue. On front there's at least a quarter inch of room from the tire's sidewall(205 width) to the coilover.
