Regardless of the rated size you want to preserve the front to rear rubber balance or else risk changing the handling characteristics.

For instance, if you want to reduce understeer then increase the balance of rubber on the front.

As someone else said you can to adjust tire pressures to make minor changes.

This may help, it is the stock widths.

Stock sizes are
205/55 X 16 = 7.1” wide (83.5% of rear tire)
225/50 X 16 = 8.5” wide (1.197 times the size of the front)
