Thanks for your input.
no, it is not ok to put 225/50x16 on 9" wheels. If you check the tire manufacturer's sites(or even Tirerack) 225/50 is spec'ed for an 8" wheel max.

you can use 205/50 front and 225/50 rear on 6 & 6, 6 & 7, 7 & 7, 7 & 8 or even 8 & 8 if you choose. I'd use 7 & 8 myself

you can also use 205/50(or 55) & 245/45 x16 on 6 or 7 front and 9 rear

You can use them but do monitor them carefully, even the much stronger oem Fuchs will eventually crack and fail, a less robust wheel will just fail sooner. The issue is delayed by using street radials and not R radials
