Default Winter Tire Size Question

So I'm having a hard time finding a matching set of 16" snow tires in the OEM staggered sized. Would this setup run into any problems.

F 205/50/16
R 225/55/16

Basically less sidewall in the front and more in the rear however both are minimal vs the OEM sizes.

The tires are Yokahama W drives if anyones ever used them input would be great.

Give me a call. The tire sizes should be 205/55R16 and 225/50R16. I have Bridgestone and Dunlop available.

OMG should've called YOU because when I did call today I was being told that it was fine to run a non staggered setup which I didnt want to do. I gave up when they didnt seem to have the OEM sizes in snows.

Jim is the MAN! He took care of me to the point where I should be able to drive out to Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving with the security of snow tires in case I get into some crappy weather. Anyone that doesnt use him for their tires is nuts.
