Did you have to trim the arches with those? I'm asking as I have 215/65/16 currently and want to put that size on. Would the 225/75/16 be ok?

Diesel Do doesn't get on here too often these days.
Arch trimming won't be needed, as the arches aren't the closest thing. The spring cup is the point where large diameter tyres catch first.
The size your asking about has a diameter of almost 29.5", which could well catch on the spring cup with some brands of tyre. This could be overcome with thin shim spacers, between the wheel and hub. You'll need to inform your insurance though, as the tyres are larger than a standard fitment, and some insurers don't like spacers.
Looks like 205/80/16 are as big (tall) as you can go:

It'll be the spring cup that is the limiting factor, and the 225 section tyre will likely catch it at that diameter... (at least, without spacers, or using a wheel with a different offset)
