Can I try a smaller tire?

Hi guys,

I did some searching on smaller tires and wanted to ask a little bit of a different question. I got 205/55R16 for free. If i put those in the back and the 225/60 in the front would that be a little bit better than putting the smaller ones in the front? Sorry i dont want to come off dumb. Im aware of the affect it has on the speedo. I just blew a tire and the donut is on the back. Made my abs and tcs off light come on. Will it stay that way with any smaller tire? Is there any other issues that could happen? Thanks
 


If the wheels are not all going the same speed the abs is going to sense this and think it's always slipping either way. There may be around this but I am not sure.

205/55's are far too small to run. They will make the ABS light come on and stay on.

We are talking like a 2in shorter tire, sidewall height is 20% shorter, overall diameter is 7% different. The back wheels will be off by nearly 5mph.
 
I know I'm running stock size 50s don't remember but know they were supposed to be a 55 but had 50's all the way around. I'm just going to buy another pair of the 50's and when they wear out to back with a stock size.
