depends on the make and model of the car. for instance, a 245/50 Pole Position S02 (which I dont recommend) is slightly - by a few mm - narrower than the 225/50 OEM S02's.
different manufacturers and models vary the size. if you just want wider tires, you aren't going to be able to squeeze anything else on this rim. if you were able to, then it will just add to poor handling because the extra play in the rubber will add to the 'rollover' characteristics of the sidewalls.

I would recommend to stay with the 205/55R16 front and go with a 245/45R16 rear. I would not recommend anything wider for the car. If you go to 18" you can go with 225/40R18 front and 255/35R18 rear.
If I can help let me know.
