I've seen pics and they don't look all that bad well atleast not in my opnion.

Im not really into that import low profile look and 225/50 just look a little to thin for my taste.

So would they cause any problems?

I take it you really don't know all that much about how tire sizes really work. So i'll make this nice and easy for you

Run a 245/50/16 in the back, and a 225/55/16 in the front
