Default Tire & wheel question

I'm looking on Tirerack at the Ford Racing Bullit 18" wheels and the Sumitono 225/60R18 tires for a 2012 V6 Mustang coupe. The 225 tire isn't listed as an option size for the Mustang, but it seems like it would be roughly the same height as a 235/50/18 with 18" wheel combo that is listed as an option.

Any issues I'm not seeing?

DO NOT buy those. 235/50/18 is a 27.3" tire, 225/60/18 is a 28.6" tire. Huge.

Okay, I goofed. I was thinking a 225/55/18 tire, but had so many open explorer windows I picked the wrong one. The 225/15/18 is only about a 1/2" difference over stock.
