Why are you so set on the MX?

You could put 225/50-16 on the rear, since kumho doesn't offer a 245/45. But the stagger won't be the same as stock. You'll end up with even more oversteer. Probably not a great idea unless you have a stiffer front sway bar.

IMO you're better off getting a different tire.

I recently mounted a set of Hankook RS-2s, and I like them alot. Very sticky, predictable, fairly quiet and slightly softer ride than the SO2s. I can't comment yet on wear. Every tire test i've seen has rated them above the MX. They're cheaper than MX's and half the price of stock SO-2s.

With the Kumho it will be the 205/55R16 and 225/50R16. They are a very good handling tire with similar characteristics to the S02 that came on the car.
If I can help let me know.
