That setup will have your front tire taller than your rear.
Just do 225/45 on all 4.

That's how it is stock? 55s front and 50s rears.

Sidewall number is a ratio based on the width, not a fixed number. 55% of 205 is roughly equal to 50% of 225 resulting in tires of the same diameter. I'd stick with 225/45, better fit for a 7.5" wheel. You should address your front fender liner tabs, there is a good chance your tire will catch and damage your fender.

My buddy has these on his 240 using 350z touring 18" wheels and he really enjoys them for the price.

Yes, I know there are a million times better tires out there (Dunlop Durezzas for example) but this is just my daily and I'm experimenting with the size so I can actually mount the wheels asap. I will upgrade to extreme tires probably next summer. That's also when I'll probably upgrade rears or new wheels entirely...

anywho.. 66 bucks for some achilles (sponsored wheel of formula D). Currently running Yokohama S drives and Falken 912s on my current oem wheel setup (daily driver status)

I won't be running these wheels in the winter so I may opt for a similar, more summer tire.

I run the federals right now and they are ok. Perfectly fine for rain and sun. I don't drive in snow or anything so can't speak to that.
