205/55/16 all round or its possible to put 225/50 on the back.

Think that right.

I have some with 205/55. They seem big. would you replacce them with 205/50s or cpuldi run them till the rubber wears thin? The tyres are nearly new.

Do the 225/45s fit on both the rear arches, as in pre and post facelift arches?
