Default M50 rear tire upgrade

Hello everyone! This is my first post so hopefully I won't screw it up too bad.

I have a 2009 M50 and was thinking about upgrading the rear tire from the 170/80-15 m/c 77H tubeless to the Metzeler ME880 200/70HB-15. I have read that the 200 will fit with no problem on my stock rim. Just curious if anyone has a photo of a 200 on an m50 so I can see just what it might look like. The photo's online of just the tire make it pretty hard to see just how wide it is. I want to be sure the increase in width will be noticable and worth the money. I really like how the wide rear tires look.

thx,
todd
