why do you have 225 on the rear? if they are the stock tyres they should be 205/55/16 on all 4

I would definitely expect all 4 x tyres to be the same size, to my knowledge it's only high end/more powerful cars that have wider tyres on the reason such as porsche or Honda S2000 for example.

I could be totally wrong (usually I am , ask the wife ☺) but would of thought you'd be ok with a full set of 225/55/16.

That said double check with someone in the trade etc as I know incorrect tyres are one of the first things insurance companies like to look at.

probably fit ok, but remember it will be a taller tyre so your speedo will be reading incorrectly

I thought the height was the same just a bit wider

nope, 55% of 205 is not the same 55% of 225

its not alot but take that into account when driving through speed cameras, only around 2mph difference,
