Default 16" rims and tyres?

Is it possible to run 225/75/16 tyres on a 04-09? Thinking about switching out my tired RAV4 for an RX and I have a set of 4 x All terrain BF Goodrich (225/75/16) that have only got a couple of hundred miles on. With the right wheel choice would they fit without rubbing and not look ridiculous? Checked through the forums and can only find about going up in rim diameter. Did read a post about someone increasing to 255/55/18 and used that for a comparison as seen in the screenshot
