The only downside I see is that you may not be able to rotate your tires anymore doing this...
The 245/50/16 is about 1/8 inch shorter in diameter than the 225/55/16, but since your 225/55/16 are older they are probably pretty close in size.

I wouldnt see why that would be a problem. The SN95 can hold a 245 tire easily, and once the 225/55 he has up front wears out, rotate the rears to the front, and replace the 225 with 245s. I dont see any downside. Gagan

My bad. I misread and was assuming the rears were going to be to wide for the front, thus interfering with steering...
