The P245/50R16s on the front is as big as you can go w/o rubbing issues. A few poeple have run P255/50R16s on the front, but in some of these cases they rub. Your best combo is P245/50R16 on the front & P255/50R16s on the rear if your have the 16x8.0 wheels.
The 225/50R16s on the front will be a bit small in OD, but it might work.

I've seen 225's on an 8" rim, it isn't pretty, looks like you could peal the tire right of the bead if you cornered too hard.

Yea, I should have pointed that out also. The proper designed rim width for the P225/50R16 is: 7.0"...... And the 225 is 0.8" smaller in diameter than the 245.
