I currently have 205/55s, I want to put 225/50s on. The sidewall height
(and hence the rolling diameter) on 225/50s is the same as on 205/55s,
according to a useful website I found that lets you compare things like
this.
What I want to know is if the 16" rim will take a 225 width tyre.

Yes - the second number is the ratio of sidewall to width.

I had a courtesy car a couple of weeks back while mine was having a new
clutch put in... it had 235/45s on 17" rims. Handled like it was on
rails, but the thinner sidewall meant you could feel every bump in the
road. Plus I do like the standard 16" alloys, just want something a bit
wider so the back end doesn't flick out when I go powering round a corner!

16" wheels on the Audi may have a "J" of say 7 or 7.5 it all depends on the
width of the wheel itself, I would say 225's will go on a 16" rim, but its
impossible to tell.
if the wheel is too narrow ie 6.5/7J what happens is the sidewall of tyre
hangs over the edge of the rim a bit like a tyre which has sidewall
protectors.
