Default Snow tires will this size be ok

Been running 205/55/16 WS70/80 square for the last 3 seasons and though I like the narrower tire for deep snow, the majority of my drive is not in deep snow, and I also hate how small my rear tires look since theyre so much more stretched than the fronts.

Considering running 205/55/16 WS80's front and 225/50/16's winterforce or yokohama rear

This is on an 06, will this be fine? I coulda sworn I read somewhere that Jim from Tirerack was saying this setup would cause issues with ABS or something.

Also feel free to provide thoughts on better setups that would result in slightly more aesthetically pleasing setup.

you'll be fine. 205/55 and 225/50 are stock AP1 sizes.

The size you have been running is the best for the snow. If you go staggered tires the car will handle better when there is no snow but in the worst conditions the 205 all the way around is the best.
If I can help let me know.
