Confirm fit of upsize 225/255 RE050A?

Time for new tires on my cabriolet with stock suspension. I know this upsize is used often with conventional tires. Can anyone confirm the fit of 225 front and 255 rears on 261m wheels, stock suspension?

I'm probably going to get encouragement to go w conventionals, but I keep the runflats on for safety reasons on a cabriolet.

Thanks,

Confirmed - no issues with upsizing to 225/255 with stock suspension. Only "downside" I would say is the extra weight, and possibly a slight "puffy" look to the tire as the are wider and the sidewalls a bit taller. Nothing major.
