Wanted to point out a 205/50 will have a sidewall height of 4.035", a 225/45 3.986"--that is only a .049" difference in ride height. The gearing will be less than .5% different. (7000rpms will now be 7035rpms)

Of course the 205/50 might actually spec as a 209/47 and the 225/45 a 221/46...so check with Hoosier for exact sizes if you are concerned.
